DescriptionWine glass made of blown and cut colorless lead glass. The wine glass has a plain rim, a slightly tapered body with a light pattern of vertical ribbing, an inverted baluster-shaped stem containing an inverted, elongated tear-shaped air bubble, and a round foot. Cut decoration of the wine glass begins with a row of slender, vertical ovals in the middle of the hollow portion, above six short flutes. Just below this, the stem has been cut to a hexagonal shape. There are a small number of minor chips or flakes to some of the sharply cut edges.
