Etched Clear Glass Wine Goblet Appraisal

Etched Clear Glass Wine Goblet

This item is a clear glass wine goblet, featuring a bowl-shaped top, a slender stem, and a round foot (though the foot is not fully visible in the image, it is implied by the goblet form). The glass appears to be standard thickness, typical of domestic glassware. The most distinctive feature is the etched floral or botanical pattern that adorns the bowl of the goblet. This etching consists of delicate, shallow lines forming stylized leaves and possibly small flower buds or tendrils, creating a subtle, translucent design against the clear glass. The pattern seems to cover a significant portion of the bowl's circumference. While specific manufacturing marks are not visible in the provided image, the etching suggests a decorative intent, possibly machine-made or hand-etched depending on the precision and depth of the lines. The overall condition shows some visible signs of use and possibly age, including what appears to be water spots or light residue on the interior and exterior surfaces of the bowl. There are no obvious chips, cracks, or significant damage discernible from the image, but the glass does not present as perfectly pristine. The stem of the goblet appears smooth and cylindrical, connecting the bowl to the base. This style of etched glassware was popular during various periods, including the early to mid-20th century, suggesting a potential age range. The craftsmanship, indicated by the uniformity and detail of the etching, appears to be of decent quality for mass-produced or semi-handcrafted domestic items. The clear glass ensures versatility in table settings.
