Description
We have 6 of these lead crystal goblets(see lead crystal goblet.jpg).
They are etched and carved. The cup portion has etched, frosted flowers below a carved ring of leaves(see lead crystal inside.jpg), and above a carved pattern encircling the cup.
The upper stem has a solid 12 faceted knob(see lead crystal stem1.jpg), and the lower stem has a bumpy surface(see lead crystal stem2.jpg) comprised of a scallopy effect alternating with a flat surface.
The underside of the base has a carved pattern in lines and leaves(see lead crystal base.jpg).
The glass rings when tapped.
Re: Lead Crystal Goblet
I have fifteen similar goblets. The size and shape are almost identical. The pattern is different but very similar. I know that the goblets I have were a gift to my grandparents for their wedding in In 1915. I have been trying to identify them for a while now. There are no markings on the glass. We always thought they were Swedish in origin but not sure. Grandparents married in Chicago so assume they were purchased there but that is just an assumption. Would love to know more.
