the stemware

Wexford produced over a dozen glassware pieces, among them three sizes of goblet: water, wine/juice, cordial. All priced at $3.00 in the catalog.

While thrifting, the wine/juice goblet is easy to find, often for $2.00 or less. The water goblet is found maybe half as often. The cordial goblet is the rarest of the three. I’ve gathered just 1.5 dozen over a decade.

Versatility:

The size varies allows for multiple uses. The water goblet is big enough for miniature boquets, and all three goblets group nicely as votive/tealight holders.

Likewise, the water goblet is big enough for mixed cocktails.
