Early American Pattern Glass goblet, also known to collectors as EAPG, in the “Wide Band Baby Thumbprint” pattern. Goblet stands 5″ high and is made of non-flint glass
It was not uncommon for goblets, which were used daily, to snap off at the base. And when they did, they were repaired at home with a carved wooden base such as this one, or taken to a tinsmith for a more lasting replacement
This is what the base would have looked like before the goblet slipped out of the original owner’s hands and on to the floor
