Ruby Red Pressed Glass Goblet

This is a single goblet crafted from ruby red pressed glass. The goblet features a rich, translucent red hue that allows light to pass through, showcasing its decorative patterns. The bowl of the goblet is cylindrical in shape, tapering slightly towards the stem. It is heavily adorned with intricate pressed glass patterns; the upper portion of the bowl displays a series of vertical, rectangular panels, while the mid-section features a repeating embossed design of swirling foliage or paisley motifs. Below this, the bowl transitions into a bulbous section with repeating circular or ovate elements before meeting the stem. The stem is relatively short and thick, connecting the patterned bowl to a round, stable foot. The overall construction suggests a sturdy, mass-produced item characteristic of pressed glass manufacturing. There are no visible chips, cracks, or repairs, indicating good condition for its likely age. The surface appears smooth and slightly reflective, consistent with glass, and there's no obvious wear or significant scratches. While no specific maker's marks or signatures are discernible from the image, the style of the patterning is reminiscent of late 19th to mid-20th century American pressed glass, often referred to as 'pattern glass,' with a strong possibility of being from the mid-century period due to the popularity of ruby red glass during that era. Its robust design and vibrant color make it a decorative and functional piece, likely used for beverages or as part of a collectible set.
