I believe these treen goblets would be described as stickware--turned from a block composed of two different alternating woods, yielding the stripe pattern. I don't always pay much attention to treen cups like this, but these I found particularly lovely, with nice detailing on the stems, and they appear to be early ones to me. And I'd been sitting on this lovely old darning ball, which seemed the perfect complement, so I'm selling as a set--including for the fact that you can make a tower of them with the ball in the middle!
Goblets each 6 1/8" t; 2 1/8" d at tip. Ball approx 1 7/8" d. All 19th century I believe, and all in very good condition, with just a hair of what I quess would be called uneveness due to the shrinkage on the foot of one goblet--i.e. a couple of stripes of wood are just slightly raised--no real matter at all.
