Not really sure what's the proper name for this piece. It just has Elizabeth Mofett 1902 on it. I believe years ago this was in a box full of things I bought. This was the only thing that I thought was pretty in the entire box. I don't even know if it's old or if someone was trying to make it look that way. It really doesn't matter because I do think it's nice with the red on it.

I may have something that will help to understand what you have. In the early 1900's, my grandmother belong to various different women's and would do voluntee work. The custom was to give a fine piece of glassware with the recipient's name and date in appreciation/recognition for their services. I have a red and clear glass pitcher (like your cup) with my grandmother's name and date. She helped with a banquet to raise money for the troupes prior to the First World War.
Thank you Jackie for your info.
Thank you AR8Jason for your info, and yes Iam not far from there.
Thank you again AR8Jason for your help.
Thanks chevy59
I have a glass cup similar to yours and it has a man's name (Lawrence Brown) on it along with World's Fair 1902. I picked it up several years ago at a garage sale. They are very pretty and delicate.
Thank you Teresa for your comment.
Even though I don't have any "Ruby Red Glass"I have always like them. I have seen them with names and a date.
Thank you ttomtucker for your comment.

It's an EAPG pattern, Button and Arches.
Thank you adrian44 for the information!
Thank you VictorianLady!
Nice piece Neighbor...like minds huh?
Thank you oldmade! :-)
Also, if you are going to sell it the proper name for the red is "Ruby Stained" so many say Ruby Flash but it is not Ruby Flashed.
Thank you adrian44 for the information! :-)
I have one of these too, it belonged to my grandmothers brother, it has his name etched on it and the year 1904
I also have a cup like this from 1902. Any idea if it is valuable?

your mug is 'Button Arches' by George Duncan's Sons & Co., ca.1897, and continued by Duncan & Miller Glass Co. after 1900. It is Duncan's pattern #39 and was made in an extensive table service. It is ruby stained and this decoration was done by a decorating company; in this case probably Oreintal Glass Co. These were widely used and decorated as souvenir pieces back in the day.
