This wineglass is similar in shape to glasses cut by Mt. Washington. However, because many companies used the "Russian" pattern, it is impossible to be certain exactly where it was made.

Physical DescriptionWineglass in Russian Pattern. Transparent bright green glass; blown, tooled, applied, cut, polished. Ogee shaped bowl atop a facet-cut stem with a single cut knop and a circular, scalloped foot. Bowl cut in Russian pattern with a star cut into the bottom of the foot.
