    Hello everyone - I picked up a set of these glasses at auction awhile ago but they have me stumped as far as who made them. They measure about 6 1/8" high, base measurement 3 1/8" and also 3 1/8" across the top. They have a very slight ring to them when tapped. I had trouble getting a good picture of the top of the stem but it has 6 sort of scallops. I looks like a two part mold with most of the mold lines polished out. Any help on an identification would be much appreciated. As always thank you for your assistance.

    Wellll, I'm thinking they're not EAPG but a regular pressed glass goblet. I'm basing my opinion on the cutting which doesn't look like EAPG era. But unfortunately, I don't have any suggestions as to who might have made them.

    They are probably are Newer made.

    Thanks very much for your input folks. Newer production would make a lot of sense. I went through my stemware books but couldn't turn it up. Also tried google searches but I guess I'm not using the right terms. Back to the drawing board. Thanks again for your help!

    Thanks, TallCakes, that is the stem! I also have a couple of cordials in the same pattern that I forgot to mention. It IS hard to tell if they are cut or etched or both. Much appreciated!

    IMHO the decoration is engraved, not etched. done as copper wheel engraving, an old (19th century) process. I think the goblet dates from perhaps 1880.

    Thanks, Cherryhill - any chance this is a King, Son, & Co. product? I found a pattern of theirs called Mitchell C which looks like it might be a match for the blank. Would be circa 1870-1875.

    Cold be, however. the pattern is often called Mitchell, because someone named Mitchell patented (and licensed) the process of making a bowl with no vertical mold seams and hiding a horizontal mold seam at the top of the 'flutes' about the bottom of the bowl. King and Duncan, among others used the license. Geo. Duncan & Sons also had that bowl shape.

    Wow! Thank you! This has been tremendously educational. There's a lot of info out there on EAPG but not too much that I've been able to find on these earlier patterns.
