Hi
Confusion reigns. I use dollar store glassware, it's the life on the road, military brat way, I guess.
I have some glassware that research has yielded nothing except the possibility of repacking it.
One is some sort of pink crystal, I want to say etched, with an apple blossem type pattern. It looks later than the 40's, but I don't know!
The bottom one is etched, but can find no pattern info in depression glass encyclopedias.
Someone mentioned Fostoria for the stemware, but it is nothing like fostoria.
The apple blossem seems to be crystal, or sounds like crystal.
Sorry for the pix, I have a family member that is just going silly-eyed Googling and researching.
There are no marks. The creamer has a matching sugarer and sauce boat.

It's depression glass, but I don't know the pattern. I'm sure one of the experts will be here to help. Nice glasses!

You're looking in the wrong place, it's not Depression glass, it's considered Elegant glass. Very pretty by the way. It looks like the creamer is a different pattern than the stemware, and appears to be needle etched, while the stemware is wheel cut. I'm on my way out for a few hours, but if no one else figures out what it is, I'll try and look it up when I get back.

OK, I couldn't find much. The shape of the stems is fairly common, used by a number of companys. I was hoping to find the stem shape with the inside paneled bowl portion. No luck.
As for the wheel cutting, I don't have or know of a reference book that shows all the different patterns.
If anyone comes out with a reference book showing all the shapes with all the etchings and wheel cut patterns, they'll sell a bundle of them. Till then, we'll have to make do with the kind of c--- that is currently available.

japer,
I don't know who made it, but I can tell you this I have never had much luck selling stuff like this on Ebay or anywhere else. Sorry. The Duck in the background would most likely sell.

Those glasses shoulg go for big bucks. It's a very rare occasion when the manufacturer puts out a line of glassware that is built horizontal than the more common vertical style.
The light at the end of the tunnel will turn out to be an oncoming train.

Sparks...LOL!! And they are spill proof, too!
ahem...I have read fostoria books, and it's not there. I am finding similar unknown glass, but nothing with that particular wheel cut pattern...or the needle etched!

Cambridge, Paden and Tiffin all put out that color as did a few others. They maybe cut by Lotus who didn't make glass but decorated it and very well I might add. My best GUESS would be Cambridge or Tiffin. Definitely Elegant. If you can't identify list under elegant glass but use the word depression as I believe these are of that period.
I recently sold some stem like these without the cutting and they did pretty well.
