Heavy baluster glasses or goblets (French 'balustre' = 'pomegranate flower') were popular in the period 1680–1740, and they exemplify the golden age of English glass stemware (façon d'Angleterre). The baluster stem is formed in one piece with the bowl of the glass, and is then drawn out to form a tapering stem.
