Brandy Snifter Glasses Appraisal

Set of 6 Etched Brandy Snifter Glasses

This is a set of six matching small brandy snifters, crafted from clear tempered glass with intricate surface decoration. Each glass features a classic bulbous bowl that tapers towards the rim, designed to capture aromatic vapors. The body is characterized by a significant etched and cut pattern, specifically a 'Pinwheel' or 'Whirl' motif combined with 'Hobstar' geometric etchings, reflecting a mid-20th-century aesthetic typically seen in European or American glassware. Each glass measures approximately 4 inches in height, supported by a short, knop-detailed stem and a wide, stable flat circular base. The glass clarity is high, though it appears to be pressed glass with later wheel-cut or acid-etched detailing rather than hand-blown lead crystal. The edges of the cuts show some softness, suggesting a mass-production technique from the 1950s-1970s. Condition-wise, the glass shown appears in good vintage state with no visible chips or cracks on the rim or base, though minor surface scratches and faint mineral clouding may be present upon closer inspection consistent with age. There are no visible maker's marks or signatures, which is common for this type of decorative stemware produced by manufacturers seperti Anchor Hocking, Indiana Glass, or various Bohemian factories.
