Huber was one of the early elegantly plain patterns. It was originally made in flint, & later in non-flint, c 1860+. I believe that both of these are not flint. The first is a classic Huber, height 6 ½", what might be called a "man’s" goblet. The 2nd is brighter glass, very heavy, & shorter at 5 ½", what could be thought of as a "lady’s" goblet. It has an extremely thick bowl bottom, with the glass overall, being much thicker than the other piece. It’s possible that these are just variations due to different manufacturers.

On the other hand, there were smaller goblets for ladies, although I sure doubt it for this one since it’s so heavy. And there were also smaller goblets for champagne. The smaller has some ring to it, possibly a transition piece with some lead in it. Sorry I don’t have the answer, but the buyer of these can have fun checking them out & tracking them down. See my other listing for a set of flint Huber. Buyer to pay for shipping by USPS Priority with Delivery Confirmation, 4 lbs. from 06068. #143
