    Hello Everyone! I bought some stemware last night that I thought would be an easy ID. Silly me! The glass seems to be of good quality but does not ring. It has a safety ring across the top. The glass stands 6 1/4" high, 2 7/8" across the base, and 3 3/8" across the top. It has a light cutting of flowers and arches. Please excuse the quality of the pictures - I'm still at the beginning of the experience curve in photographing glass. Some of the pictures appear to give it a blue tint but it is clear crystal. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks much!

    Libbey Rock Sharp. The did a wide variety of this basic style. I would start with the 3005 blank line. But there are others with that bowl shape. Looks like an ice tea. Replacemts is the only on line source I know. There are a couple of good books for the blank cuttings are harder.

    Thank you very much! Y'all rock! I've got Replacements Crystal Stemware Identification Guide but it only pictures two longer stemmed items so I missed it. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

    You are very welcome Don!!! :kiss:

    A few years back a board regular form the PG&P Board recommended a book called A Collection of American Crystal. It was put out by the Replacements guys & covers Libbey / Rock Sharpe, Glastonbury / Lotus & Hawkes. It has more than paid for itself many times over. :happy:
