L G Wright Westward Ho Wine Glasses Blue Pioneer Pattern Stemmed Pair

This pair of L G Wright Westward Ho wine glasses features the historic Pioneer scenic pattern reproduced in bright aqua blue pressed glass on traditional stemmed wine forms.

The detailed bowls show the Western landscape and animal imagery associated with the Westward Ho pattern, while the compact proportions give these stems the smaller scale common to vintage wine service.

Sold together as a pair, the blue glass makes the molded scenery especially easy to see and gives them strong shelf presence in a vintage glassware, pressed glass, or colorful barware collection.

Collector's Notes

The Westward Ho design traces back to Gillinder and Sons' late 19th century Pioneer pattern. Later glass companies reproduced the scenic design in additional forms and colors.

The blue pressed glass and compact wine stem form suit collectors of American pattern glass, L G Wright glass, and colorful vintage stemware.

This listing includes two matching stems. The molded scenery wraps around each bowl and remains clearly visible through the aqua blue glass.

The smaller scale is part of the appeal here. These are wine stems from an earlier style of table service rather than oversized modern goblets.
