NOTE: Walt Williams 2026: [Charleston Swirl goblets] are noticeably more straight sided. Mine is more bulbous, and has only one ring around the top portion of the stem, whereas the CHARLESTON stems have two. seen in Unitt's vol2 pp152-153, "of the '80s"
NOTE: Sid Lethbridge 2026: Comparing Charleston/Charlston: the Charlston Swirl stem is round, the Charleston Swirl stem is facetted.
