Modern Stemmed Martini or Cocktail Glass

This item is a short-stemmed cocktail glass, commonly referred to as a martini glass, characterized by its classic conical 'V-shaped' bowl. The glass is constructed from clear, soda-lime or potash glass and features a machine-pressed or machine-blown construction. The bowl has a wide, circular rim that tapers sharply to a molded junction above a thick, columnar stem. The stem is relatively short and sturdy compared to traditional crystal stemware, tapering slightly toward the center before flaring out to a solid, circular base. Physically, the glass appears to be of standard commercial quality, often found in mid-range restaurant or household sets. Regarding condition, the glass shows visible signs of surface wear, including 'clouding' or 'milky' residue, which is often indicative of hard water deposits or etching caused by repeated dishwasher cycles. There are faint surface scratches and small spots of grime visible on the bowl's interior and exterior. The rim appears intact without major chips, though the overall clarity is diminished. There are no visible maker's marks or signatures in the provided view, suggesting a mass-produced origin, likely from the late 20th to early 21st century. The craftsmanship is functional rather than artisanal, with a focus on durability rather than delicate aesthetics.
