Any vintage glassware experts here who could help me?

Its ruby cut glass, seen alot at flea markets and antique malls.

Too bad. I know where to get those tumblers.

I have that glass!! I was just about to give it away to The Good Will. How can I get it to you??

R2: I love/hate you lol R3: I want to believe you but…

Ruby cut glass. Try a Chinese or Mid-Eastern run home decor "CRAP" store. The kind you find all over European cities in ghettos.

I've never paid attention to the glass but now I will. I have some antique etched old Fosteria stemware I'd love to get replacements for but it's pricey now.

Cranberry etched glass with flash gold bands. This pattern looks very, very similar to a number of popular mid-century patterns that came out of Czechoslovakia/Bavaria. The double gold bands seem to have been especially popular there.

Nice bro you are.

R7: definitely. And I checked as many Czech/Bavarian glassware manufactures as I could find and would always come very close, but never exactly like the ones in the movie.

R8: I try. It’s not easy sometimes.

Exteriors were shot in Brooklyn Heights, only a couple blocks from where I used to live. Real nostalgia trip, watching that movie. And Olympia was my acting teacher for a year at NYU Tisch. More nostalgia.

Not that that helps you much.

Good luck with your search.

This is where DL really shines. This type of thread.

R9- You are a very dedicated brother.

Just find some old BAMA jelly jar glasses.

Chances are, OP, that your sister is not an OCD dishqueen like yourself, and will be delighted with the ones you found that are ALMOST the same.

If you've not yet asked around on Reddit, there's a board devoted to such questions.

R11: I’m jealous. It’s a great, timeless film. And damn, Olympia was your teacher? Now I’m really jealous. You’re very fortunate to have known her and to have been taught by her. I had no idea she ever taught acting.

It doesn’t help with my search but they were interesting anecdotes so, thanks.

R16: I thought about asking Reddit on the subreddit you linked, but, having followed that subreddit for as long as I have, it’s hit or miss. If I’m really, really desperate, I will. But I genuinely believe that by harnessing the collective powers of obscure pointless information, fine glassware knowledge, and film trivia that IS Datalounge, I will be pointed directly to this goddamn whiskey glass.

I never noticed the glassware in all the times I watched this film. Interesting, what we notice and don't notice.

I'm in the goop thread and visited her website, this popped up on the sale page.

Wow. I can't believe something on Goop costs $12.

Aw, OP, just get her a Fat Broad.

This one's on eBay...

OP, I know the movie was made ages ago, but could you check the credits for the prop department and try to get in touch with someone who's still around to ask what those glasses were?

They're so close to Ebeling and Reuss Marchioness that I have to think they were a department store knock-off version of them, maybe something at a Macy's or JC Penney's that was sold around the holidays.

Oh, dear.

R20: close but not the same R22: ha! I should. R23: see response to R20

Look on ruby lane, they have lots of fabulous antiques

I do collect old glass and it look like Bohemian cut to clear.

You've probably tried this, but I would Google image search

R29: old glass, esp cut to clear, is great. I’ve found several pieces I want to buy, even if it’s not the whiskey glass match from the movie.

Did Kitty Dukakis drink her hairspray out of fine vintage cut glassware, or??

R31 I collect EAPG, Depression and Elegant Glass, uranium and anything I find unusual and different.

Says the guy who comes to DL to ask.

I have those exact same glasses. I use them to rinse off my pasta after draining it.

And here I am, with full knowledge of where to get these very glasses, yet not only is the OP too proud to ask, he specifically mentioned that he does not want my input. Fine by me!

What's "oh dear" about that, r26?

I’m pretty sure Crusty Earl at the Uncle Jon’s Flea Market in St. John has the exact genuine replicas of those glasses.

This should be a quest involving a Ford Festiva, several hours driving back AND FORTH across the Ohio hellscape, and degrading sodomy with antique dealers who are “Strictly into Eastlake and bridal baskets”.
