    Description

    This listing is for a set of 8 absolutely exquisite depression-era sherbet glasses or aperitif glasses. They are incredibly thin, light, and fragile - typical of stemware of that era. They are too small to be champagne glasses - they stand only 3" tall and the opening is 2 3/4" wide. The bowl is a clear optic rib, while the stem and foot are a smooth brown - not yellowish enough to be considered amber.
    And they are apparently somewhat unique - I cannot find the maker, and I cannot find anything similar anywhere on the web. They remind me very much of Utility Glass Works sherbet glasses, though these pieces do not fit any of the known patterns of UGW, and the glass seems just a hair's breadth thicker than UGW pieces I have handled. If you recognize these pieces, please, let me know!
    Because shipping will likely require a heavy and/or oversized box, I have given you multiple shipping options so you can select the one that is cheapest or fastest for you, depending on your priorities.
    I am listing many other items on eBay, including other vintage glassware. Please check my other items, as I will be happy to combine shipping.
    I do not accept returns. Please examine the photos and description carefully, and ask questions if you are unsure.
