This stemware features a flared rim, a slender tapered stem with a decorative knop, and a delicate etched floral spray design. Perfect for replacing a missing piece in a mid-century set or for use as a mismatched wedding glass.
Key Features
Collectible 'Gray Cut' styling; Mid-Century vintage appeal; delicate etched floral pattern; classic silhouette that fits both traditional and MCM aesthetics.
Authenticity Indicators
Pattern style is consistent with Rock Sharpe #1006 or #3005 series; base construction and lack of mold lines indicate a blown glass process; high confidence in era.
Flaws to Note
Visible cloudiness or 'scum' on the glass surface (likely hard water deposits); minor scratches on the foot of the glass from use; no chips or cracks visible in photo.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (best for replacement pieces), Etsy (vintage aesthetic appeal), or Facebook Marketplace (if sold as a set).
Selling Tips
Clean with a vinegar soak to remove the cloudiness and improve clarity before photographing. Use a dark background to make the white 'gray-cut' etching pop. Use keywords like 'MCM', 'Etched Flower', and 'Replacement Glass'.
