    HI Everyone... I bought 5 of these Fostoria stemware and not finding the pattern or they all just look the same. They are 4 3/4 tall and with the mark on bottom of 4 and not on one of them?? And what would they be wine glasses? Any help would be great. TIA image2.JPG IMG_1505.JPG IMG_1501.JPG

    You have make. Use is champagne or tall sherbet.

    I just saw the correct answer on your Baccarat site.

    FYI, sorbet and sherbet are the same thing.

    A frozen sweet dessert that is made usually from fruit or fruit juices
    or a fruit flavored ice served between courses as a palate refresher.

    And that is a champagne. One may use it for sherbet, but technically there is no such thing as a 'tall' sorbet (or, sherbet).

    Sorry, silverthwait, not everyone agrees with you on that subject.

    technically a sherbet contains 1-3% milkfat whereas a sorbet is fruit only with no milkfat...

    Thanks TallCakes. Sorbet is a word I learned a hundred years ago, but sherbet came up today and I thought it was a misspelling. I hit google or bing in those cases instead of opening my Webster because the latter is so outdated I might not find either. :sorry:

    Got a shock when typing sorbet into an online dictionary and sherbet popped up instead. Finally got both and the definitions were identical. Thousands of new words and/or definitions are added every year and many of those are because some groups, like we collectors, either make up a new word or invent a new use for an old one.

    Thank you. May I just depend on you directly for realistic, correct and honest definitions in the future? :D Please.

    really, 'a hundred years ago'?

    you're welcome, and certainly ; )

    "really, 'a hundred years ago'?"

    Well, sometimes I exaggerate a bit, especially when disrupted. :(

    Hang in there. You will not "catch up" with me, but have a smooth ride forward.
