Cut crystal stemmed cordial or liqueur glass
Estimated Value
$10-$40
A small stemmed glass with a wide, flared bowl, short faceted stem, and round foot. The bowl is decorated with etched or cut floral and leaf motifs, giving it a decorative, elegant appearance typical of formal table or bar glassware. The piece appears to be hand-cut or machine-cut decorative crystal, likely intended for serving cordial, liqueur, sherry, or dessert wine. The design is refined but not highly elaborate, suggesting a mass-produced or semi-handcrafted decorative glass rather than a rare luxury maker's piece.
