I inherited a set of 12 of of these delicate glasses. All I know is that they are at least 50 years old. They look like fancy juice or dessert glasses. Any information or comments would be welcome!

Help us close this case. Add your knowledge below.

The decoration is done by a process called "needle etching", which involves acid and wax. Rather than go into a lengthy description of the process, you can google "needle etching" and find lots about it.

I've seen them listed as "jelly cups" or "syllabub cups" .

Nice to have a few things to research. Thank you both!
