Glass Goblet

By Paris1969, 17 August, 2022
Description

I am trying to date a glass goblet that has been used as a loving cup in my family for a number of generations.  I’d like to know how old it is in order to get an idea of how many generations it goes back.  My daughter will be at least the 4th or 5th generation to drink from it at her upcoming wedding.  It is about 12” tall and hand painted.  There are no markings to indicate maker or artist.

Bohemian Glass Goblet

Goblets like this are called "Bohemian Glass", getting its name from it main place of production, Eastern Europe and Bohemia in particular. Bohemia was one of the most prolific manufacturing centers, once an independent nation and now part of the Czech Republic. most of it dates from the late 19th Century. Bohemian glass makers were known not only for the quality and afford ability of their products, but for being in tune with what different markets around the world were interested in. The goblets like this are often attributed to the Moser glassworks, but without a label or marking there is no way to guarantee who the maker was.

Thank you for your response…

Thank you for your response. This helps me a bit, but I’m still uncertain since there are no marks. From what I understand, Moser was mostly lead free glass. I can’t tell if this one is lead free or not, but it sure rings like crystal.
