Etched Crystal Goblet with Flying Pheasant Motif

This 5-3/4 inch tall stemware piece is a fine example of sporting-themed glassware, likely mid-20th-century American crystal. The piece is constructed from clear, high-quality glass with a notable clarity and luster. The bowl is a rounded tulip shape, featuring a meticulously wheel-etched or sandblasted scene of a pheasant in flight. The bird is depicted with significant detail, showing feathered texture and a long tail, set amidst a landscape of stylized conifers and grasses. Smaller birds are etched in the distance to provide a sense of depth. The stem is particularly decorative, featuring a multi-part construction with a prominent ribbed or optic-blown central knob (baluster) flanked by smaller wafers, providing both visual interest and an ergonomic grip. The glass flows into a flat, circular foot that provides a stable base. The craftsmanship shows high precision in the etching, which remains frosty and crisp against the polished glass. Condition appears excellent with no visible chips, cracks, or clouding; the rim is smooth and the foot shows only minor shelf wear. This style is consistent with mid-century manufacturers such as Tiffin or Morgantown, who frequently produced 'hunt' or 'field' themed barware for the post-war luxury market.
