These are beautiful and can not find any like them online or in the several books I have gone through. any help on maker,value, time line of production would be great, they look earlier than 30s, 40s to me. These are also mint gold and all!!!
Thanks all

Hey Wendy... I'm going to search for this too but in the meantime do you have any idea of what they would be used for? My thought process...
too big for a mixed drink (?)...
too delicate for a hot coffee or tea...
prob not wine, champagne, codial etc...
water or soda with a handle (?)...
See where I'm going....
They are gorgeous!! Wait until IL sees these...

It resembles a latte glass.
-
I can search some books later after work tonight. But I know that fostoria makes Glasses like these, specifically the handle, but not seen any fostoria with gold trim like that.

Thanks guys My mother had placed a tag on each one that says Pink & gold depression glass (soda Glasses) They do resemble Latte glasses wayward but for a very wealthy family back then did they drink latte then????
-
Just bumping so I don't lose... Still looking... ;D
I will say that most are calling this style of glass either Latte or Irish Coffee. I think it looks more Italian than Irish so I'm sitting with Wayward on this one.
.....even tho I think it'd burn my lips :o
-
Thanks Oceans it does seem to be latte style but the glass is thin so don't know how a hot beverage would not break it unless you put milk in first and very little coffee. Back to the hunt :D
-
Then soda it is! ;D

These were fancy shmancy ones! Nice! They are done in the style of irish coffee mugs. Such as this style from Libbey

More familiar with this type for soda

However, my mother used to have some depressions glass coffee glasses that looked like this (style wise) and a matching coffee jug!

Wendy - This isn't going to be helpful but while at the library this weekend I was looking through some books on glass. I saw a similar style in a Westmoreland book - sort of - it was satin glass with gold. I grabbed the book to take a pic (below).
Now obviously, this isn't close to yours but the book references the dates of these and similar creamers as 1913-1921 (probably after too). Just thought I'd mention it in case the satin and gold was popular in that time frame. Also saw similar glasses listed as Ice Tea.
I also checked out another book to compare against something else I have. If you need anything looked up let me know. I'll probably take it back this weekend.

Thanks Oceans you are the best!!! That is the closest I have seen to my pieces anywhere!!!! And it is helpful as I at least have a starting point for dating them!!! I have not found one piece that is even close so this photo you took is fantastic!!! :D
-
No prob - I saw several examples (I think). In fact, I thought I had a better example but I may have put it back by mistake. I'll look some more this weekend. I'm still trying to figure out my red vase.
The good news (for me) is they have every Blenko catalog so I shouldn't have anymore of those questions ;D
BTW: My library has a HUGE section on glass so if you need something looked at in a book, they probably have it so let me know...

Hey Wendy - I have been meaning to post these pics for a month. These are from a Tiffen/US Glass Co book. Again, not your patten but it does seem the style was 1920's...
Here's the book...

Here are the pics....

Thanks Oceans!!!! I have a few Tiffen books also will have to pull them out & go through them.
