I saw these water goblets on ebay and decided to buy. I thought it would be a cinch to identify this etch/blank. Looked very much like something Fostoria would have produced.
Well I can honestly say that it DOES look like something Fostoria would have produced, but I haven’t been able to nail it down. Thought maybe Tiffin produced them, but so far no luck finding a match for Tiffin either.
The blank itself is not particularly unique although the pieces are heavier than usual.
I keep wanting to borrow a black light from our friend Dave to see if the pieces, and a few others, are Vaseline.
This is how the Vaseline Glass Collectors define Vaseline Glass:
“Vaseline Glass is a particular color of yellow-green glass that is made by adding 2% Uranium Dioxide to the ingredients when the glass formula is made.”

Hi – I never have identified these stems. These needle etched pieces and this shape of glass I think were manufactured by lots of companies. Thanks for sharing and good luck identifying them! cheers. d.b.
