\"\"<\/a>Came across these water goblets while I was in the USA. \u00a0They have the same etch, although the stem is different. \u00a0Replacements.com<\/a><\/p>\n

identifiesthe\u00a0etch as “Victoria” not Victory.\"Bohemia<\/a><\/p>\n

Given that the stem is different I wonder if the pattern is still the same. \u00a0Likely just a variation between Czech glass houses using the same design.<\/p>\n

If any one knows, please share the info!<\/p>\n

Picked up these two champagne flutes recently. \u00a0At first I thought they were a match to another etch I have. \u00a0Check out the details on the \"Bohemia<\/a> D’Arques wine glasses with the Dampiere etch. \u00a0Very similar. \u00a0Heisey also has an etch – Osage – that has similar details as well.<\/p>\n

In any event the stems were the first clue, and the a closer look was the second clue.\"Bohemia<\/a><\/p>\n

I still don’t know any more about the provenance of these stems. \u00a0But they are pretty.<\/p>\n

\"Bohemia<\/a>I bought three snifters recently at a local antique shop. \u00a0I have only seen this etch on the Replacements, Ltd. site – \u00a0www.replacements.com. \u00a0They didn’t have any stems for sale at the time and I don’t see the pattern there any longer. If you haven’t\u00a0seen this site before, \u00a0definitely take a look. \u00a0It indexes literally tens (if not hundreds) of thousands of patterns of china, silver, crystal, etc. \u00a0I have one of their publications that provides sketches of etches. \u00a0It took me awhile to track this etch down, but it appeared to be the same as the etch that had been identified as Bohemia’s Victory etch. \u00a0I don’t know much about Bohemia Crystal but I believe that they were\/are imports from Czecholoslovakia. \u00a0Some of their patterns are quite common. \u00a0I also had some pretty sherry stems that were shaped like small flute champagnes. \u00a0 A friendly ebayer emailed some details of the crystal as it was her wedding pattern. \u00a0I somehow deleted that message, big dolt, but would love to hear from someone else who knows more about it. \u00a0They are very dainty.<\/p>\n
