Clear stemmed pedestaled juice or wine glass

I found this clear stemmed footed juice or wine glass inside a cardboard cylindered barrel. I have not been able to identify it through my research. The dimensions are 2 1/4" top diameter x 2 1/4" bottom diameter x 5 1/8" height. Near the middle of the bottom of the pedestal is the word France. I would like some help with company and pattern. Thank you for your help in this request. Rob

 

Hello Rob - J.G Durand/Cristal d'Arques/Arcoroc produces quite of bit of everyday glass. I would check them first. There is nothing distinctive about the shape so it may be difficult to find an exact match.

Hi Don! Rob mentioned in a related thread that these glasses were in the mover's boxes and unopened since 1976. Have either of those companies been around that long?

 

Good question, Bakersgma. I wish I knew the history. The interrelationship between the companies has always been a bit vague for me. I have a large collection of Cristal D'Arques Longchamps pattern but am unsure just when I started to acquire it - most likely the early 1980's. One of our European and/or glass friends may know a bit more.

I honestly don't know what I would do without Wikipedia:

Durand has been around for a LONG time. That wine glass is a very common one, usually for commercial purposes. My dad's golf club bought hundreds of them in the seventies. Of almost no worth, I'm afraid.

 

Thank you for the information.

 

Thank you for the example and I figured it was not worth it. Rob

 

Insightful question. Good question to ask. Thank you. Rob

 

I remember in my research that I took some pictures of Cristal D'Arques glassware. It has a sticker on it. Had something about the company name and the % of lead. Rob

 

Spot on with difficulty to find match. Appreciate the leads. Rob

 

Is Bakersgma a glass company? Thank you. Rob

 

No, Bakersgma is another member. See second post above.

Oh my god. I needed a good laugh tonight.

 

Here's the history of ARC brands which will give you date information. But please know yours is an inexpensive, mass produced wine glass -- evidenced by the "Libby lip" -- and may not warrant much time spent on research.

Whops, -1 for me. I suppose a 99 is still good. Haha. Thank you for clearing that up for me. Rob

 

Sorry for the mistake in identity. Rob

 

Thank you for the information. I know I have seen 2nd, 3rd and 4th names while I have been going through my mom's boxes of glass ware with her. Rob

 

No problem, Rob. It gave me a good laugh I really needed.
