Milk Glass Grape Vine Pattern Goblet/Footed Tumbler

This item is a white milk glass goblet or footed tumbler, likely from the mid-20th century, specifically known for its 'grape vine' or 'grape and cable' patterned textured surface. The piece is crafted from opaque white glass, which gives it a classic, soft appearance. Its form consists of a main body that tapers slightly inwards towards the bottom, resting on a pedestal base. The rim of the goblet is smooth and unadorned, suggesting practicality and simplicity. The primary decorative feature is the embossed design of grape clusters and intertwining grape leaves that encircle the body of the glass. This raised texture provides both visual interest and a tactile quality. The material appears to be in good condition, showing no obvious chips, cracks, or significant wear that would detract from its aesthetic. The milky white color is consistent throughout, indicating a well-preserved piece with no visible discoloration or staining. The construction suggests it was made using a mold, a common manufacturing technique for milk glass items of this era. While no specific maker's marks are visible in the provided image, the 'grape vine' pattern is a recognized design often associated with various milk glass manufacturers, including brands like Westmoreland or Fenton, though without a clearer view of the base or specific markings, attribution remains uncertain. The overall craftsmanship appears standard for mass-produced milk glass of the period, designed for decorative and utilitarian purposes.
