You might be surprised by how often people land on this site looking for something from the set of the movie Julie & Julia. I've had several requests to contact the set decorator about napkins and lighting and on and on. I do feel like, when I reach out to folks to do these interviews for the blog, that they are doing me a favor. So, I rarely go back and say, "Um, so, where did you find the pillow?"
This is different. A very nice young man is on a quest to find these glasses that appeared in the film for a very specific person and purpose (which I may share at a later date.) I did, in fact, go back and ask the set decorator for Julie & Julia from whence they came. She's nice, as most people are, and let me know she found them at le Cafeteria in New York, but that the shop had changed hands and they might not be there anymore. They are not.
Two sources agree that the glasses are French (though I don't think that is critical to the quest.) What say you, design crazies? Can you help a guy out? Any suggestions?

ooooh pour me a glass!!!
They look like something that one might find at Barney's in NY, or Bergdorfs. They do have a french flair. I wonder if they are Baccarat?
Maybe he can look in Fishs Eddy (NYC) www.fishseddy.com since they are a big source for vintage glassware and tableware. If I see the pattern anywhere I'll let you know. Pam
Looks to me like a discontinued Juliska pattern. They have one with similar lines on their web site now that is called Emerson.
Ask Eddie Ross!
These are stunning, however I have not seen them. A photo sent to one of the crystal replacement co's might do the trick.

I sent you a p.m., but this shop "had" the glasses at one point. bet she'd tell you her source with such a good story brewing behind it !

A GREAT store! Yes- it has changed hands. A good deal of their stock is/was from France & Brussels: that is what I remember being told when I bought similar glasses. Perhaps Belgian Pearls can be of assistance?
If this is a seriousserious quest [as in no substitutions will do], I'd suggest your friend call the La Cafetiere French HQ in Bordeaux. According to the website, there are two LaC locations in USA: the NY location which you've checked, but perhaps also checking the Ft. Lauderdale location may yield something worthwhile.

However, if this person gets fed up with the search, and simply wants something reminiscent of the authentic movie goblets, well, sigh, perhaps these French goblets on eBay might appeal:

Oh, I wish I could help. But, I love wondering what he needs them for! :)
Have you tried Pryde's? I'm always amazed by what I find there.
Patricia ~ This looks more like Depression glass pattern like Queen Mary (an old Hocking pattern) or maybe Jeannette Glass company's Homespun pattern. But I could find a photo of a goblet like the one in your photo. I will keep looking in the meantime... Good Luck!
They look like Nason & Moretti which are hand blown Italian.
Love those glasses.
Thought you would like to know, a Tulsa kitchen is in the Sept. issue of Southern Living magazine, kitchen by Moi.

they are pretty! I think they are vintage Amethyst Italian Venini Glass for the 50' or 60's but I am not sure. I would try to send the picture to Replacements ltd they are so great about finding anything under the sun! hope this helped and good luck! Eddie
Do tell us the back story! You tease.
I found several in the same shape. They were called "milk goblets" (this didn't indicate "milk glass".
Does this young man know that your readers all over the country (and possibly outside, too) are trying to help him find those glasses? That would add some charm to his story.
What about Lucullus (sp) in New Orleans? Can't even believe that I can comment on something like this...even though I'm sure to be way out of my element on things such. I bought Absinthe spoons at Lucullus years ago.
They look Italian and vintage. Nina Campbell in London usually has similar.
Any luck finding those glasses? They are so nice!

I'm curious too! Did you find them? They are stunners.
They're from Murano, just off Venice. Hand blown. A very basic model.
