Etch #740 was one of Cambridge's early decorative etches from the late 1920s and was featured on Cambridge stemware in a 1929 trade publication. National Cambridge Collectors describes #740 as a \"seldom seen etching,\" making this group especially compelling for the Cambridge or American Elegant Glass collector who has been searching for an example that simply doesn't come to market very often.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach cordial features the optic bowl associated with Cambridge's #3050 stemware line and was blown and hand-finished. Subtle variations in foot diameter among the five glasses are consistent with period hand-finishing and are part of the character of early Cambridge stemware.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eImportantly, these are the petite 1 oz cordial form rather than the larger 2.5 oz wine. Each glass has been carefully measured and holds exactly 30 mL (approximately 1 US fluid ounce) when filled completely to the rim.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnder 365nm UV light, the pink glass exhibits a striking pink\/coral fluorescence, a response often associated by collectors with selenium-containing glass. The glass composition has not been laboratory tested; please see the UV photograph.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFinding five matching Etch #740 pink 1 oz cordials together, particularly in this exceptional condition, presents a special opportunity for a Cambridge collector.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eApprox. Size: 4\" H each\u003cbr\u003eCapacity: 1 oz \/ 30 mL each, measured brimful\u003cbr\u003eSet of 5\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCONDITION: Exceptional antique condition for this set of five 1929 Cambridge cordials. All five are free of chips, cloudiness, and dishwasher wear, with the delicate Etch #740 decoration beautifully preserved. Subtle differences in foot\/base diameter are consistent with hand-finished manufacturing variation rather than damage. Please review the photographs closely for the individual characteristics of each nearly century-old glass.","brand":"Cambridge Glass","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48405712994493,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0638\/6692\/9341\/files\/71028796-ad74-45d4-827f-3876d6524d4c_47a6619b-578e-4cfc-815d-33b4e5cd9ed3.jpg?v=1788897757","url":"https:\/\/1wayvintageshop.com\/products\/rare-1929-cambridge-glass-etched-pink-cordials-etch-740-stem-3050-set-of-6","provider":"1WayVintage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
