    Hello again everyone! Found another one - this time it's a champagne. It's 5 1/2" tall, a little under 3" across the base, and 4 3/4" across the top. This particular piece has a rim chip but I've got a couple of good ones. Does not ring when tapped. Thanks in advance for any guidance you can provide.

    Looks like a sheaf of wheat, but other than that I can't help.

    Thanks bercrystal! Once you led me to Tiffin I found the cut - it's Mariposa. Replacements doesn't list a champagne for that pattern but the cut matches.

    I don't think that's a champagne glass. Sparkling wines are served in flutes to preserve the effervescence.

    Hi,
    Looks more like a high sherbet than champagne. The old champagnes were supposed to be molded after Marie Antoinnette's breast. I have a friend who is a size 50DD. I said a dinner party it's a good thing "Fran" wasn't Queen or we would have been drinking out of 55 gallon drums. The wine spitting, gasps and loud laughter were only muted by "Fran's" loud laughter and table shaking.

    When that was made, over half a century ago, not all champagne glasses were hollow stem. Or "Flute" shaped, the glass companies made champagne and sherbets the same bowl, but the champagne had a taller stem. The one illustrated IS a champagne.

    Saucer Champagnes were quite common 50 years ago. I agree current shape is a flute.
