Featured Speaking of wine stems...

Another bunch of things I never researched because I didn't expect to find anything, but I'll post them here and see if anyone has comments.

Here's a quick snap taken to show comparative sizes:


The three on the left fluoresce a marginal green, the two on the right, a weak icy blue. All have pontil scars, polished on 4, unpolished only on the shortest. No safety rims. The tallest is 5”, the shortest 4”.

 

And the shortest:

 

more than enough info here.

P.S. no warranty though that the classification and individual names are everywhere the same.

 

Have you tried the replacements.com image search yet?

 

Mom always had a ton of (various) those around the house (mostly collected from her house clearances, a few bought) , that Dad seldom used an actual brandy snifter, just grabbed one of these small stemmed whatevers for his after dinner brandy!!

EDIT: Mos, I think the word you (and I) might be looking for is "Apertif" glasses! Yours and mine (that I don't think I have anymore) I think are more like 1800's.........from a quote "to heighten the taste buds before a meal"?

No. I lack the energy.

 

Do a search for "baluster" on Replacements. I had several pieces of the Royal Leerdam years ago but the stems made me instantly think of them. I don't think they matched any of the stems but going back & forth was making me cross-eyed.

On a bright note, I was able to remember the word in just a couple of minutes instead of hours or days later!!!! Maybe working the crossword puzzles is finally starting to help.
