It could be argued that the short plain stem section above the air twist stem constitutes a composite stem. We have sold one other pointed funnel three piece wine glasss with an air twist stem. the two are of remarkably similar dimensions and dare we suggest possibly made by the same hand. This has the added feature of hammered moulding and a knopped stem
