Pressed Glass Goblet or Wine Glass

This item is a clear pressed glass goblet, standing on a multifaceted stem. The bowl of the glass features a detailed, raised relief pattern that appears to depict traditional motifs, possibly neoclassical or floral in nature, which is characteristic of Early American Pattern Glass (EAPG) or mid-20th-century reproductions. The glass piece is constructed from a non-leaded soda-lime glass, indicated by its slight grayish tint in the shadows. The stem is notable for its 'waisted' or baluster-like configuration with several geometric knops or rings, transitioning into what likely is a circular base. Regarding its condition, the piece shows surface dirt and fingerprints, suggesting it has been handled or stored without protection recently. There are no large chips or cracks visible in this resolution, though the clarity of the material appears somewhat aged. Based on the moulding seams likely present but obscured by the heavy pattern, and the style of the stem, this piece likely dates from the late 19th century to the mid-20th century. The intricate molding indicates a high-production quality intended for middle-market households. The pattern provides a tactile experience, and the overall heft of the glass suggests durability. No specific maker’s mark is visible through the patterns, which is common for this type of glassware.
