Western art AG or GA

on etched crystal tumblers

 

Looks like the G was etched over the A, so I would guess "AG" in the order written.

It's difficult to be dyslexic and type this out!

 

@terry5732 can you also post a picture of the whole tumbler and any background info?

 

From an estate - no history. Each is engraved HLB in a diamond on the back - may be a personalization. About 4-1/2" tall. Thin at the rims.

Better detail in the etching than the camera picks up

Smooth ground bottoms

 

So, this looks cut and polished to me and with the Western motif etchings, it seems to indicated that it is American. There weren't a lot of American crystal glass companies but here is a site https://cutglass.org/AboutCutGlass.htm with a bit of history on cut glass in the US. The American Cut Glass association might be able to help you identify the pieces that is, if the etchings were done as an original part of the pieces.https://cutglass.org/ Maybe email them?
BTW , i noticed the initials are kind of like a brand for livestock. Could be a lead as well.

What is he wearing? Gaucho pants? Argentina maybe?

 

Good thought, SiS!

 

@say_it_slowly good spot and looks like he's smoking a pipe or maybe drinking mate? so maybe not US after all. Horse also has an unusual style and saddle does not have a "horn" like US Western saddles.
