Key Features
Discontinued pattern, high brand recognition (Williams-Sonoma), hand-blown quality, versatile for formal or casual tablescapes.
Authenticity Indicators
Williams-Sonoma glassware is often acid-etched on the bottom with a small 'W-S' or logo, though many older pieces are unmarked. Confidence: High based on pattern matching.
