<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bakersgma, post: 38531, member: 59&quot;]I&#039;m in a &quot;curious phase.&quot; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" unselectable="on" /> I have 4 of these stemmed glasses (not sure what to call them because they seem too large to be sherbets although they are a similar shape.) They came from my late domestic partner&#039;s household goods which I inherited 12 years ago. When I was getting ready to move and sell the house, I decided to keep them because they just looked &quot;nice.&quot; Other than the fact that he already had them in the early 90&#039;s, I have no idea where they came from. He certainly would not have bought them himself. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Statistics - just a hair under 4.5 inches tall, 4 inches diameter at the top and hold 8 ounces.</p><p><br /></p><p>The &quot;curious&quot; thing is that the gold that makes up the design appears to have been cut (as in from a sheet of gold paper?) to fit into the slight indentations in the glass on the outside of the bowl and the underside of the foot. The gold at the top and bottom looks painted on. From the outside the gold is true to color and very shiny. From the inside, it looks matte and sort of green-grey, although in the picture they look just like the outside.</p><p><br /></p><p>I see no mold lines anywhere. Center bottom has a few small off-center straw marks that I can only feel, not really show with the camera and a little pointy bump dead-center.</p><p><br /></p><p>Where the stem meets the bowl, there is a perfectly formed half-sphere that sticks up into the bowl.</p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s probably more than you wanted to know, but since I am pretty clueless about this kind of thing I figured &quot;more&quot; might be better than &quot;less.&quot; I have no illusions about these, so tell it like it is. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]9727[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]9728[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]9729[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]9730[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
