Star Cut Vintage Glass Wine Stemware Set of 8

Star Cut Vintage Glass Wine Stemware Set of 8

Elegant Depression blown glass with cut stars. Set of 8 delicate full-size wine glasses from the 1930’s in original condition. Maker unknown. Various cut ‘star’ patterns were made by various makers. Under blacklight, this glass glows pale green which is caused by the magnesium in the glass recipe. Magnesium glass and Uranium glass are two different recipes. Uranium glows bright green, Magnesium glows pale green. Magnesium was used during both World Wars when lead was in short supply until the end of WWII, and some countries like Italy and America used Magnesium off and on through the 1950’s.

Nice find as a set of 8. Each measure 6″ tall. Blown glass with hand-etched 6 pointed stars in bevel. Nice ting when plinked. Suitable for elegant every-day use. Made before the dishwasher was invented hence: Handwash ONLY All in excellent condition.
