set of glassware

By Ann W, 13 September, 2023
Description

I have an incomplete set of glassware that I believe was my grandmother's. Unless she acquired it late in her marriage, it would date back to 1905-1910. I have searched via photo and can't find anything like it. I searched multiple pieces for any sign of a mark, and found none. If it helps, my grandmother would have been living in either Toledo, Ohio or Detroit, Michigan at the time of acquisition.

A couple of glasses are chipped, so if I sold it by place settings, the number would be six. I need to sell them as a lot.

At first I thought this set was crystal, because it rings like crystal. A couple of people at my tag sale disagreed. They felt it was more likely Depression Glass.

I've added a picture of a single glass. Not the best background, but I had limited resources.

Stemware

It's really difficult to search a photo image when the stemware is grouped together like that. Would you be so kind to photograph just one of the glasses, please? A straight on shot against a background that shows the pattern and details of the shape would be best. Thank you!
