Stemware Goblets Appraisal

Cut Glass Stemware Goblets

The items are a collection of clear glass stemware, specifically wine or water goblets, with intricate cut or etched patterns. Each goblet features a bowl, a stem, and a circular foot. The bowls are relatively deep and have a slightly tapered shape, flaring out towards the rim. The glass appears to be lead crystal or a high-quality glass, indicated by the brilliance and the way light refracts through the faceted cuts. The most prominent feature is the decorative cutting on the bowls. The goblet on the left exhibits a series of deep, angular cuts creating a prismatic effect, likely in a diamond or starburst pattern. The goblet on the right, while similar in form, displays a more etched or lighter cut floral or star pattern, possibly a variation of a starburst or a stylized flower with radiating rays. The stems on both glasses are slender and clear, connecting the bowl to the foot. The circular feet are plain and clear, providing stability. There are no visible chips or cracks, suggesting good overall condition. However, some minor surface wear or dust might be present due to their display environment (likely a retail shelf). No clear manufacturer's marks or signatures are discernible from the image, but the quality of the cutting suggests a production period likely from the mid-20th century to late 20th century, a common era for such detailed glassware. The precision of the cuts and the clarity of the glass indicate a good level of craftsmanship. The varied patterns suggest they might be from different sets or a collection of mixed patterns, common in thrift or antique stores. Visible pricing labels on some items indicate they are likely second-hand.
