A remarkable pair of matching EAPG (Early American Pattern Glass) goblets in the “Giant Thumbprint” pattern, each measuring 7″ high and made in North America. It’s rare to find items with matching repairs & replacements, so I was thrilled to acquire these.
The matching replaced conical black enameled iron bases are filled with lead to support the thick-walled flint glass.
This is what the original simple glass bases might have looked like.
