EAPG Goblet Valencia Waffle Square Base

Valencia Waffle Square Base EAPG Goblet

Brilliant old EAPG goblet with deep intricate pattern and domed square foot.

This large early American pressed glass, EAPG goblet has a lot going on! Pattern has zippers, stars, blocks & jewels. Called Valencia Waffle. Made in the 1880’s. This pattern was made with a round or a square base.

Pressed from a 4-part mold. Glass contains manganese (lights up yellowish/green under black light – image 4). This type of glass would turn purple if over exposed to sunlight. Only a very slight hint of purple shows here, do to natural aging.

Has VERY heavy bottom-wear (image 3) due to old age. Solid thick band surrounding the bottom of the foot. Hard to believe this 130 year old goblet would survive all these years without numerous chips. But only one small sliver was found near the base of the foot. It is invisible due to the pattern, and is too small to show-up in the images. A bit of roughness around the edge of the foot, but no dings. In very, very, good condition.

Glass is clear and brilliant (slight hint of purple). A few trapped air-bubbles are within the glass. Stands 6.5″ tall with a 3.5″ wide bowl and a 3″ square base.
