Elegant Glass Appraisal

Gold-Trimmed Glass Coupe Cocktail/Champagne Glass

The item is a clear glass coupe cocktail glass, characterized by its wide, shallow bowl and a relatively short stem connected to a flat, circular foot. The primary material is clear pressed or blown glass, exhibiting good clarity, though any impurities or bubbles are not clearly discernible from the provided image. The most striking feature is the decorative gold trim. The rim of the bowl is encircled by a solid band of gold, which appears largely intact with only minor signs of wear or fading. Below this solid band, there is a patterned gold design, possibly an etched or painted motif, that runs around the perimeter of the bowl. This pattern appears to be a continuous floral or scroll design, adding an element of elegance and detail. The foot of the glass also features a thin gold band around its edge, echoing the gold trim on the bowl. The glass exhibits visible signs of age and use. There are some white specks on the surface of the foot and the table around it, which could be dust or minor debris. The gold trim, while mostly intact, shows slight variations in color or sheen in some areas, indicative of possible light rubbing or age-related patina rather than significant chipping. The overall construction appears sturdy, suggesting a functional piece of dinnerware. There are no visible chips, cracks, or significant damage to the glass itself. The style suggests it could be from the mid-20th century, possibly the Art Deco or Mid-Century Modern period, as coupe glasses were particularly popular for cocktails during these eras. The craftsmanship appears to be of good standard for mass-produced or semi-mass-produced decorative glassware of that period. No manufacturer's marks or signatures are visible in the image.
