But this EAPG (Early American Pattern Glass) 5-1\/2&#8243; tall goblet in the Honeycomb pattern is a make-do in the best sense of the word, a fine example of Yankee ingenuity. Made in America between 1850-1870\u00a0during\u00a0the Industrial Revolution, machine-made pressed glass examples such as this\u00a0were\u00a0mass produced and available to all.<\/p>\n<p>Though more affordable than hand blown glass counterparts, this goblet\u00a0was still cherished enough by its owner to be repaired after it broke. In this case, after the base snapped off, a simple unpainted and overscaled wooden base was attached to\u00a0what was left of the broken stem. The result is a bit comical, as we are left with a short, stout goblet with an extra wide wood base that resembles half of a yo-yo.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2011.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3129\" title=\"IMG_2011\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2011.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"399\" height=\"471\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2011.jpg 399w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2011-254x300.jpg 254w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 399px) 100vw, 399px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_7226.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5461\" title=\"IMG_7226\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_7226.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"399\" height=\"329\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_7226.jpg 399w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_7226-300x247.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 399px) 100vw, 399px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2012.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3128\" title=\"IMG_2012\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2012.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"399\" height=\"380\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2012.jpg 399w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2012-300x285.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 399px) 100vw, 399px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This example with\u00a0its original base shows what my goblet looked like before it took a tumble.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/EAPG-FLINT-GLASS-HONEYCOMB-PATTERN-GOBLET-CORDIAL.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9858\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/EAPG-FLINT-GLASS-HONEYCOMB-PATTERN-GOBLET-CORDIAL.jpg\" alt=\"EAPG-FLINT-GLASS-HONEYCOMB-PATTERN-GOBLET-CORDIAL\" width=\"400\" height=\"528\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/EAPG-FLINT-GLASS-HONEYCOMB-PATTERN-GOBLET-CORDIAL.jpg 400w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/EAPG-FLINT-GLASS-HONEYCOMB-PATTERN-GOBLET-CORDIAL-227x300.jpg 227w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Photo courtesy of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ebay.com\">eBay<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don&#8217;t like to\u00a0use the term &#8220;make-do&#8221; to\u00a0describe antiques with inventive repairs, as I feel it diminishes the artistry and integrity of the piece.
