Comments

The decorative character of the six wine glasses comes from the deep green color of the rounded-bottom bowl that attaches to a cylindrical, unadorned stem.  The wine stands on a flat, circular foot with a polished pontil mark on the underside.  Thirteen oval cuts encircle the base of the bowl.
