About MeThis wineglass features a wasted bell-shaped bowl and is engraved with grapes and leaves and supported on a green and white opaque twist stem with a flat solid foot with collar.

This type of stem was achieved by the introduction of rods of opaque white glass placed vertically into a mould, before clear white glass was poured in. The glass was then heated and drawn out to create the pattern. These are sometimes also known as cotton twists.
