the good glass departments. I studied the looks, heft, and compared a lot of them. The kind I bought are plain, clear glass with the cutting of a wreath design in polished (not rough shaded) glass. The wreath leaves are similar in shape to those on our China only no color and the leaves in the design are smaller and close together. The design is almost an inch from the top of goblet. Then a circle of the same kind and size design is on the base, about 1/4 inch from the edge. The cup is full bell shaped, but they have no sudden flare - a nice sturdy curve is the construction. After trying so hard to tell in words what they look like, I tried some picture on another page. Since they are middling successful I'll send that page too. I'm not as good at sketches as you are! It is Cambridge glass. If there had been a leaflet describing this
