Shouldn't this be "fluted flare glass instead? Just like in this description:
Item # SPM7990288102 Model # 100733122
Vintage-inspired Coke glass adds a hint of nostalgia to any occasion! Heavyweight clear glass has a flared design with embossed script Coca-Cola logo and fluted base.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

footed
So as has already been said, it is the supplier's website that gives the correct expression.

FYI, 'footed' is the correct description for this type of glass that has a protruding ridge around the base for added stability.
Although we are used to thinking of tjhe type of 'foot' you find on a typical wine glass, in actually fact this style of glass is probably more commonly known as a 'stem' glass.

For comparison, here is an image of one other type of 'classic' Coke glass:

This one might be described as 'fluted' — though I'd personally be more inclined to refer to it as 'ribbed'; and although it does get ever so slightly broader at the base, I hardly think it really and truly qualifies as 'footed'.

doesn't every glass gave a "foot"?
or rather not ... this coke glass doesn't resemble "footed tunbler" for example - http://www.cmog.org/artwork/footed-tumbler-argus-pattern
