For Sale is a Lovely piece of Art Glass made by The Steuben Glass Company of Corning, New York. The Item is a Hand Blown "Optic Ribbed Stemmed Sherbet" or "Champagne" and it is done in the "Blue Gray Transparent Glass with Topaz (Amber) Stem". The Sherbet is a nice size as it stands 4 5/8" tall and is 3 7/8" in diameter. The foot has a diameter of 2 13/16".

This stemmed sherbet is considered to be in excellent condition as there are no cracks, nicks, chips or dings. There are a few very minor scratches on the bottom of the foot but the Interior of the Glass shows virtually no signs of wear. The Glass is somewhat light in weight. This is a real elegant color combination! This Sherbet is signed on the bottom edge in an etched block letters that read "STEUBEN". This Sherbet also displays a counter sunk polished Pontil on the bottom, the sign of a Quality Hand Blown piece of Art Glass. This is known as shape number 2680 in the Steuben Achieves of shapes. This particular Stemmed Sherbet has a more elegant taller stem that is not all that commonly found in this shape. You will see this when you look at all the different glass colors for this shape on the Steuben Site.
