gold etching refers to a type of engraving that is done to accent metal work, if you look at antique presentation firearms and see all the filligree etc on the barrels and cylinders etc they are in gold which contrasts with the base metal underneath, this is called gold etching and was a way for people with money to flaunt it in years past. Gold etched glasses such as you have are typical for affluent people and depending on the age can be worth a few hundred dollars to a collector
