Water Glasses Appraisal

Set of Five Clear Glass Stemmed Glasses

This lot consists of five clear glass stemmed glasses, likely intended for wine or cordial, given their size relative to a standard beverage glass. Each glass features a goblet-shaped bowl that flares slightly outwards at the rim, providing a classical silhouette. The material appears to be clear, colorless glass, exhibiting a degree of transparency that allows light to pass through. They are footed, with a slender stem connecting the bowl to a circular, flat base. The construction suggests a molded glass process, indicated by the uniformity across the visible pieces. The rims appear smooth, suggesting they may be fire-polished or ground. The approximate height of each glass appears to be around 6-7 inches, with a bowl diameter of approximately 3 inches, and the base diameter slightly larger than the bowl opening to ensure stability. No discernible maker's marks, signatures, or specific manufacturing details are visible from the provided image. The overall condition appears to be good with no obvious chips, cracks, or significant damage. There might be minor surface wear such as scuffs or light scratches consistent with routine use and age, but these are not clearly visible. There's a slight amount of dust or residue visible inside some of the bowls, indicating they may have been stored or are awaiting cleaning. The style is relatively understated and timeless, suggesting a mid-20th century to contemporary manufacturing period. The craftsmanship appears to be of standard quality for mass-produced glassware, with no indications of artisanal or high-end production.
