    Description

    WE ARE GLAD TO COMBINE MULTIPLE PURCHASES INTO ONE SHIPMENT IN ORDER TO REDUCE COST, HOWEVER, PLEASE DON'T PAY UNTIL WE HAVE A CHANCE TO SEND A COMBINED INVOICE.
    From an Estate Sale of 1920's-1960's CRYSTAL & CHINA, we offer from the MORGANTOWN CRYSTAL MANUFACTORY in Morgantiwn, W. Virginia, a GROUP of SEVEN WONDERFUL 6 1/2" high by 2 5/8" wide WINE GLASSES from Stemline #7711 with the STUNNING "CATHAY" ETCHING(made from 1920's-1950's) of "PHEASANTS, BRANCHES & LEAVES". Bulbous "lady leg" shape stem.
    CONDITION: this 61-100 YEAR OLD group is in superb condition without any cracks, chips, nicks or stains; appear to have been never used - can't find any marks or scratches - smooth pontil mark.
    PROVENANCE: this same shape/size goblet with etching is shown as stemline# 7711 with Cathay etching on the Websites of the Crystal Replacements Services and also shown in the Morgantown books referenced below.
    PRICING GUIDELINES: the Morgantown #7711 Cathay wine glass appears to be the most difficult size/shape to find in this pattern, for when we searched Ebay's 3 month & Worthpoint's 15 year sale histories and Ebay's current offers for sale for Morgantown's #7711 Cathay stemware we found many matches, however, all but two of the sales and all but one of the offers were for shapes/sizes other than the wine glass(THE THREE WINES FOUND ARE IN LESS THAT THE SUPERB CONDITION OF OUR GLASSES).The two sales over 15 years were: (1) for (7/2010); and, (8) for (11/2015). The one offer for sale is for (3) glasses at . Please check out these websites.
