DescriptionPair of small pressed colorless lead glass wine glasses, each with a plain rim, gently tapered sides that curve down to a short, hexagonal stem, and a round foot. The wine glasses are decorated with a pressed pattern known as "New England Pineapple". The pattern consists of two alternating designs. The first design is a small, smooth loop, surrounded by a larger loop with a diamond pattern inside. The second design is an abstract, three-petaled flower, similar to a tulip. In the case of these wine glasses, each design repeats three times.
