These goblets are primary examples of the "Palace" pattern, popularly known as "Moon and Star," which reached its zenith of production in the late 19th century. The attribution is supported by the substantial weight of the glass and the specific clarity of the pressed motifs. Crucially, the presence of "hay marks" and subtle cooling striations visible in the glass body confirms a 19th-century manufacturing origin, distinguishing these from lighter, mid-century reproductions. The construction is indicative of the high-quality craftsmanship associated with the American Victorian era, specifically circa 1885–1890.
Dimensions & Weight
Height: 6.125 in
Width / Diameter: 3.75 in
Depth / Base Diameter: 3.25 in
Weight: 0.906 lbs (per goblet)
Condition
Excellent antique condition. No chips, cracks, or visible repairs are present on the bowls, stems, or bases. The glass retains a high luster, exhibiting only the authentic internal artifacts of late 19th-century production, including faint shear marks and cooling lines inherent to the mold-pressing process.
Authenticity & Construction
Each goblet was produced using a hand-operated press and multi-part metal molds. The impressive heft—nearly one pound per vessel—speaks to the high lead or lime content and density of the glass batch used during the EAPG (Early American Pattern Glass) period. The visible tool marks and surface texture serve as a "fingerprint" of the antique manufacturing process, providing a level of character and authenticity that modern glass cannot replicate.
Placement
These goblets are ideal for a sophisticated tablescape or as elevated decorative accents within a lit glass cabinet. Their rich color and scale allow them to function as centerpiece-quality objects, providing a bridge between historical American craft and modern interior aesthetics.
STANDARD ATTRIBUTION & VALUE DISCLOSURE
This piece is described to the best of current scholarly and market knowledge. Any maker or regional attribution is based on visual analysis, materials, construction techniques, and documented stylistic comparisons. As with many MCM and antique design objects, definitive attribution may not be possible without original labels or factory records. Pricing reflects condition, quality, decorative appeal, and current collector demand rather than guaranteed maker identification.
