Old Forum Glass Mystery Possibly Solved
« on: April 23, 2014, 01:04:50 pm »
In November 2011 I posted these stems to see if anyone could help with the identity. There are two small ones and four larger ones although they are not that much different in size. They seemed to have stumped everyone 2 1/2 years ago. I believe through dumb luck I stumbled on the answer today. Should I say what I think I found out or do y'all want another crack at it?

You were here Mart. I dug up the old thread but the pictures were gone. They are Stevens and Williams Jade in pink according to what I found. Very similar to Steuben Rosaline where people online are mixing the two up. One person had the identical piece and seemed to be very knowledgeable about Stevens and Williams. They are circa 1920. I bought them for a few bucks on the last day of an estate sale. I also bought four Sandwich tumblers the same day circa 1860. It just goes to show ya that things are not always found on the first day of a sale.
