Stemless Wine Glass

This item is a clear, machine-made stemless wine glass, typically used for red or white wine service in a casual setting. The glass features an ovoid or 'egg-shaped' bowl profile that tapers slightly towards a narrow rim, designed to concentrate aromas. It is constructed from non-lead soda-lime glass, characterized by a visible thickness at the base for stability and a slightly rounded, fire-polished rim. The base is flat and weighted, providing a low center of gravity that reduces the risk of tipping compared to traditional stemmed ware. In terms of condition, the glass appears to be in used but fair state, showing some moderate cloudiness or hard water deposits on the interior surface, which is common with frequent dishwasher cleaning. There are no visible chips, cracks, or deep scratches, though fine surface abrasions from handling are likely present. This style rose to popularity in the early 21st century as a modern alternative to traditional crystal. The overall craftsmanship suggests a mass-produced utilitarian quality rather than artisanal hand-blown glass, indicating its manufacture by a large-scale commercial glassmaker like Libbey or Riedel for the everyday consumer market.
