Topic: unknown goblet, not EAPG but what?

[Trebor]

Hi can you please help is this a true carnival goblet or not it has four Fleur-de-lys around the sides .Thank you

Robert, I've moved your topic into Glass as we don't know if it is American yet. Carnival was made in other countries too, although most commonly associated with the USA, I know. Having said that, I'm not sure yours is Carnival after all...  hopefully Glen will pop in and give your her opinion soon.

Thank,s Anne

Has it got surface iridescence (like petrol on water)? If not then it's amber pressed glass, which is what it looks like to me. Also, if it were carnival, the base glass colour should be clear (in this particular case) and you should be able to spot that somewhere.

At first glance I thought it might be Stiver of Florence, but maybe not.

Hi it has a no iridescence although the base of the goblet is clear but not the foot if that helps ill post a clearer shot of the base . Thank you  Lustrousstone and Cathy B (I'm still learning) :or:

Sorry for got the pic

If it has no iridescence, then it isn't carnival glass.
PS by clear I meant colourless

It doesn't look iridised (so not Carnival Glass). The shape and style reminds me a little of EAPG (Early American Pattern Glass) but I know close to zero about that, I'm afraid.

Edited to add this:

There's one on eBay in clear glass - I don't know if it helps, but it's always useful to add more info.
