Etched Crystal Stemware Goblet with Ball Stem

This item is a clear crystal stemmed goblet, likely a wine or water glass, featuring intricate needle-etched floral and foliate patterns. The vessel features a flared bowl that transitions into a distinctive multi-ball or 'beaded' stem consisting of four uniform spheres. The pedestal base is circular and flat, mirroring the etched decorative motif found on the bowl. The etched design appears to be in the 'Chintz' or 'Wildflower' style, popular with mid-20th-century glassmakers like Fostoria or Cambridge. The glass displays high clarity and a brilliant refractive quality characteristic of lead crystal. Physically, the piece appears to be in good vintage condition with no visible chips or cracks at the rim or base. The etching is crisp with minimal signs of wear or fading of the white frosted texture. While no maker's mark is visible in the photograph, the style and construction are indicative of American Elegant Glass produced between 1930 and 1950. The delicate nature of the etched lines and the balance of the piece suggest high-quality craftsmanship through manual acid etching or needle etching processes.
