Description
Old Morgantown hollow stem optic panel crystal stemware set of 8
Elegant blown and cut optic paneled hollow stem goblets by Old Morgantown Glass. Described in A Handbook of Old Morgantown Glass (2001) by Jerry Gallagher as: “#7991 Monongah: (1918) 5 oz Hollow Stem Champagne (CRYSTAL, w/Cut Stem)”. The blank was numbered 7925 in Morgantown’s wine shape guide that came out at the end of the American alcohol prohibition. Great find in a set of 8.
Although designated for champagne (shape is called ‘Tulip Champagne’), this goblet is great for wine too. Each measure approximately 5 1/2″ tall. The height varies just slightly due to the hand-made process. Bowl and foot are 3″ wide, also varying slightly in width.
The blown hollow stems look luscious when filled with pink champagne or red wine. Holds 5 ounces. The bowl was blown from an optic mold providing faint vertical panels. The outer stem was hand-cut into 7 pillars.
Six are in excellent like-new condition. One has a nearly invisible, thin inner bowl rim flake.
