Milk Glass Grape Vine Pattern Pedestal Cup

This item is a white milk glass pedestal cup, likely a goblet or a shorter tumblers/juice glass form, featuring an intricately embossed grape vine pattern. The cup stands on a short, rounded pedestal base, which transitions smoothly into the main body of the cup. The material is opaque white glass, characteristic of milk glass, which gives it a soft, translucent quality when held up to light, though it appears solid white in the provided image. The embossed design covers the majority of the cup's exterior, displaying clusters of grapes interspersed with detailed vine leaves. The rim of the cup is smooth and slightly flared, lacking any additional decorative elements. The overall construction suggests a molded glass manufacturing process, common for milk glass items. There are no visible chips, cracks, or significant wear indicative of heavy use or damage, and the surface appears glossy and well-maintained, suggesting good condition. No specific maker's marks or signatures are discernible from the images, which is common for many mass-produced milk glass pieces. Based on the style and widespread use of such patterns, this piece likely dates from the mid-20th century, possibly the 1950s to 1970s, a period when milk glass was highly popular. The craftsmanship, while not artisanal, reflects the typical quality of decorative tableware from that era, offering a charming and functional aesthetic.
