Etched Glass Footed Tumbler or Goblet

This item is a clear glass footed tumbler or small goblet, characterized by its conical bowl tapering towards a short stem and a circular foot. The material appears to be clear, colorless glass, exhibiting good transparency. The most prominent feature is the intricate etched floral pattern adorning the exterior of the bowl. This pattern includes various botanical motifs such as flowers, leaves, and possibly vines, some with solid etched areas and others with finer outlines, creating a decorative and somewhat delicate aesthetic. The etching technique suggests either acid-etching or wheel-engraving, giving the design a frosted, matte finish against the clear glass. The rim of the glass appears smooth and untarnished. The stem is relatively short and modest, connecting the bowl to a flat, circular base, which provides stability. There are no immediately visible chips, cracks, or significant abrasions on the glass, suggesting it is in good, used condition. The style of the etching and the overall form of the glass might suggest an early to mid-20th-century origin, possibly from the Art Deco or Mid-Century Modern periods, although without maker's marks, this is an estimation. The craftsmanship appears to be of standard quality for mass-produced etched glassware of that era.
