HELP REQUIRED IDENTIFYING A WINE GLASS

Hi can anyone please help to identify who produced this wine glass and the pattern.

The top is gold gilded, the stem is cut with vertical flutes and the top of the foot is cut with panels and the underside has been polished and this would denote quality

Any help would be much apppreciated Nick

Hi Nick  -  don't think it's the quality of your pix, or lack thereof, that's hindering an id  -  more likely it's that so far your glass remains simply unknown.

With respect, might suggest that subject headings in caps. is unnecessary, and remember you can always add extra pix to your original post - instead of starting a completely new thread.             No doubt the Mods. can combine your two separate posts.

No idea unfortunately, as to the origin or provenance of your wine glass  -  gilding - which means the application of gold to a surface (so no need to write 'gold gilding') - isn't a commonplace form of decoration on wine glasses  -  or at least it hasn't been for a long time generally.   
I think possibly some French and Scandi producers may have continued it into the C20, but if you look at most similar pieces over the past one hundred years it seems to be very uncommon on the pieces we see here.                   The geometric patterning on your gold rim has a machine applied appearance  -  almost a 'machine acid etch look'  -   could be wrong but it doesn't appear as a simple band -  does that sound about right?            Might be applied as a transfer possibly.

Is the underside of the foot simply flat and polished?

Quality in wine glasses comes in different forms, one of which is usually that the item will be made of lead glass  -  gives that long ring when flicked  -  have you flicked this one?                 It won't help with id, but an indication of height is always of interest.

Are you able to tell us where you acquired this glass and if it came with any sort of description.    thanks.

Hi Nick  -  you've obviously mastered the art of adding more pix.           My comment about gilding on rims of drinking glasses was possibly unclear, insofar as having now looked at ebay it appears there are many for sale, but these are all newish rather than antique, which is the preferred area of interest to people on the GMB.
I've had a brief look but none the wiser as regards yours - but would seem obvious that yours are fairly new, and can only suggest you continue, occasionally, to scan the on line auction sites in the hope of seeing others that match yours  -  hopefully this might provide a maker and origin.
Your glasses are attractive though the down side might be that to protect the gilding, such pieces might need to remain unused.
Wish you luck.
