Etched Crystal Wine Glass with Starburst and Snowflake Motif

This is a clear glass, likely crystal or high-quality glassware, presenting a classic wine glass form. It features a conical-shaped bowl that flares gently outward towards the rim, supported by a short, ornate stem and a round foot. The stem is distinguished by a bulb-like knop or ring midway, adding a decorative element and potentially aiding grip. The most prominent feature of the glass is its etched decoration. The bowl is adorned with a pattern of scattered starbursts or snowflakes, varying slightly in size. There are also more complex, somewhat abstract patterns resembling stylized Christmas trees or radiating light, creating a holiday-themed or festive appearance. This etching is consistent across the visible surface of the bowl. Additionally, the flat foot of the glass also exhibits a few scattered, smaller starburst etchings, indicating attention to detail and a cohesive design. The material appears clear and bright, suggesting good transparency and light refraction consistent with quality glass or crystal. No visible chips, cracks, repairs, or significant wear such as cloudiness or major scratches are apparent from the provided image, indicating a well-maintained or well-preserved condition. The design evokes a mid-20th-century aesthetic, possibly from the 1950s to 1970s, though similar patterns can be found across various periods. The craftsmanship appears to be of good quality, with precise etching and a well-formed structure. Its design suggests it might be part of a set intended for special occasions or holiday use.
