    4 1/4 inches high, 2 5/8 inch wide across bowl. Stem and base show mold marks, but 4 little shooting stars have been cut into bowl, not molded in.
    I think it’s probably pretty old, as it was Grandma’s, and she died at the age of 97 in 1999. Probably not valuable, for exactly the same reason. These might have been pretty common across Western Canada, as I recently located another one second hand (wide, shallow bowl, but same base, same pattern). I find it charming and I’m sentimental and recently started researching glass in general because I’m interested in Depression glass (so everything I find becomes good practise) - but I can’t find this poor little wineglass anywhere!

      Libbey made this #8000 stem c1956-2009 in this #3012 'Georgian' pattern; didn't find this shooting star cut pattern tho' it may be buried in an old Libbey catalog.

      Thank you! It helps to have a starting point. I’ll do more research, now.
