A smaller version. \u00a0I am going with the Etoile ID.<\/p>\n

Finally after three years someone out in cyberspace has corrected an ID for me.\u00a0 Love it.\u00a0 That’s why I started this blog in the first place.\u00a0 The gold rim glass is confirmed by someone whose sister collects this pattern, as Bohemia Etoile.<\/p>\n

Over the years I have had a number of pieces with the gold rim and the etch and knew that I had never confirmed the blank.\u00a0 It is great to have this corrected and identified.<\/p>\n

I don’t know if the small glasses below are part of this pattern however.\u00a0 There is no gold rim and Replacements doesn’t include this shape in its listing of Etoile.<\/p>\n

Also, I think these pieces are older.\u00a0 The glass is much thinner and if I recall, as I haven’t seen them for awhile, I think the etch is finer.<\/p>\n

Lotus\/Glastonbury has a very similar etch called Garland #1001 and\u00a0 the St. Louis Cleo etch is also very similar.\u00a0 All about the shape\/blank in the end, isn’t it?<\/p>\n

Intriguing.\u00a0 Thanks to the person who had identified the Etoile pattern however.<\/p>\n

I have to update this prior posting with a new photo. \"\"<\/a>\u00a0You’ll notice that the etch is the same, but larger, \"\"<\/a>not as detailed, and the rim is gold. \u00a0The Queen’s Lace has the gold encrusted pattern, so I still don’t know what this is. \u00a0I have these two snifters, and a couple other pieces, yet to be shown.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This etch is a bit of a mystery. \u00a0I bought 8 of these little glasses in town here. \u00a0The seller, Marie from Under the Toadstool, said that they had belonged to her mom, but she didn’t know anything about them. \u00a0 They are very small ( 3 1\/2 in with a 2 1\/8 inch opening) and don’t have the shape that I’d associate with \"\"<\/a>a liqueur or cordial glass. \u00a0I think of those glasses being more cylindrical, these have a slight flare, if that’s the correct word. \u00a0I have this etch on two water goblets and a decanter. \u00a0I have seen it identified as Bohemia Crystal’s Queen’s Lace etch and as St. (Saint) Louis Massenet. \u00a0However the Bohemia pattern is always shown with a particular stem and the St. Louis pattern has the etch encrusted with gold. \u00a0My other pieces have a stem I’ve not seen with this pattern, and gold along the rim, but not in the etch. \u00a0No markings on anything. \u00a0The glass is very thin. \u00a0They look old.<\/p>\n

I have a question into a European company to see if they can shed any light on this etch. \u00a0As usual….if anyone can shed any light on this mystery………<\/p>\n
