My mother-in-law was a lovely, genteel woman who was interested in many art forms and had a number of vintage\/antique collections. \u00a0These stems were hers and they were the first etched glasses that I had ever seen, or at least noted. \u00a0She had five and I always thought that they were among the \"\"<\/a>most beautiful items I had ever seen. \u00a0She never used them (and I do not either). \u00a0They are now mine and I have searched and searched, but have been unable to determine their provenance. \u00a0They have an exotic \u00a0‘oriental’ look to them – flowers, bird and leaves. \u00a0My son loves these stems and has laid claim to them. \u00a0I don’t know if the glasses appeal to him, or if it’s the fact that they belonged to his Nana. \u00a0She has been gone for 7 years now. \u00a0I thank her for these particular glasses, for her genes in my three wonderful children and for my interest in elegant glass in general.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
