Topic: Help Identifying this Stemware

[Lauriescott]

I inherited this stemware from my family. I have been told it is over 100 years old. There are 42 pieces in all. They range from the tall goblet down to the liquor. There are 5 different heights. I have requested help from Replacements.com, but they were unable to identify the maker. Without knowing the maker, I am unable to put this stemware up for sale or auction. Attached is a picture of the stemware. I would like to thank anyone who can give me some suggestions or help.

hello Laurie, welcome to the GMB       shame you can't run down the maker  -  unfortunately, a not uncommon event with drinking glasses.
My personal opinion would be that this shouldn't prevent you from selling, assuming that is what you wish to do  -  people will buy because they like the look of these pieces.        Assume these are lead glass i.e. they ring well when struck, and looking at this goblet, there is a lot of cutting, and they appear to have some quality, although these facts alone give us no real help regarding age.   Do you consider the States to heve been the origin of these pieces?
People like to see the underside of the feet when it comes to stemware - this can sometimes give clues to age, and of course, someone here may recognize your glasses and be able to help, so fingers crossed.

Hi Laurie,
I'm having a little trouble reading the picture.   

Is it pressed glass that's also cut?  Or is it just all cut?  The bottom of the bowl is what has me a bit confused.

The radial patterns on the foot, ... are those cut into the bottom or is what I'm seeing caused by whatever you have it setting on?
