Vintage Gold Encrusted Wine Goblets — Set of 5, Optic Panel Bowls, Gilded Feet

🍷 Five wine goblets with a wide band of encrusted gold at the rim — scrolling vines and small rosettes between two rows of beading, raised so you can feel the pattern under a fingertip. That is gold encrusting, not a printed line: the glass was acid-etched first and the gold laid into the bite, which is why it stands proud and holds detail.

✨ Below it runs a second, wider gold band, stepped rather than straight — it follows the tops of the optic panels, so it rises and falls around the bowl like a little battlement. And the foot carries a gold rim of its own. Three separate passes of gilding on one glass.

💛 Condition is lovely. The gold is complete all the way round on all five — rim band, stepped band and foot — with no loss and no rubbed patches. What it has done is mellow. Fired gold does not stay brassy; after this many years it settles into a warm, quiet colour, and these have gone exactly that way. It is the difference between a gold that shouts and a gold that glows, and it is not something you can buy new. No chips, no cracks, no cloudiness.

🍾 Under all of it the bowl is blown into wide vertical optic panels, so the light breaks up as you turn it. A slim drawn stem with a small collar, on a plain polished foot. Six and a half inches tall.

Unmarked. Bands like this were put on blanks by several American decorating houses from about 1915 into the 1950s, and none of the five carries a mark, so no maker is claimed and no pattern name is invented. Circa 1920s–1940s, read from the encrusted work, the optic panel and the drawn stem rather than from a mark.

🧼 One care note, honestly: encrusted gold is not dishwasher-safe and never was. Wash these by hand in warm water and they will outlast all of us; put them through a cycle and the gold goes.
