Cut crystal stemmed dessert or sherbet glass
Estimated Value
$15-$45 each; $30-$90 for a matched pair depending on maker and pattern
A clear stemmed glass with a wide shallow bowl, short faceted stem, and circular foot. The bowl is decorated with a repeating cut pattern of small diamond and triangular facets around the lower half, with a band of larger rounded or oval cuts near the upper body. The design suggests a decorative dessert, sherbet, champagne coupe, or compote-style serving glass. The craftsmanship appears machine- or wheel-cut rather than deeply hand-engraved, though the exact production method cannot be confirmed from the image alone.
