Description
Antique stemware set in blown Herringbone optic Vaseline glass with pulled and applied amber stems.
This antique stemware set dates to the 1900’s – 1930’s. Very well made, excellent quality. Unsure of maker, but surely from a a very fine elegant maker of the past. Possibly English glass.
Beautiful vessels blown from herringbone optic mold in Vaseline glass. Â Uranium was used to tint the vessel green (not dangerous to health unless you eat it). Â Under black-light, the uranium causes the vessel to “light up” in a neon green. Solid glass amber base and stem are hand made and applied.
Antique stemware set includes 4 goblets. Three are in excellent condition. The fifth has a very small rim chip, see image 3.
SCARCE items. Measure approx. 5 3/8″ high. Vessel is 3 3/8″ wide. Rim flares out for drip-less lip service. Can be used for wine, champagne, cocktails or dessert.
