Six antique French St Louis Massenet hock or wine glasses date from 1920 in the Art Deco style. Made from cut crystal and lead glass with an emerald green overlay casing, the set shows green cut-to-clear round bowls adorned with star, diamond, and fan cuts, above long slice-cut faceted stems detailed with hexagonal basal knops and conical feet. Each glass stands 17 cm high. Reflections show the translucent quality of the crystal, the precise geometry of the faceted stems, and the smooth gradient where the green casing meets clear glass. Positioned on a sideboard top, these glasses suit a dining table or display cabinet in a traditional or modern home. They function well for serving wine at dinner parties or add a decorative green accent to a collection of glassware. The set brings French Chateau elegance to a home interior, combining practical drinkware with decorative cut crystal craftsmanship from the early twentieth century.

Hock glasses are tall, slender-stemmed goblets specifically designed for serving white wine, traditionally those originating from the Rhine region of Germany. Their elevated stems prevent hand warmth from altering the temperature of chilled wine, while the wide or cupped bowls direct aromas toward the nose.

Coloured overlay or cased crystal was created by dipping a molten gathering of clear lead glass into a secondary layer of molten coloured glass. Once cooled, artisan glass cutters cut through the outer coloured layer using grinding wheels to reveal the clear crystal underneath, forming precise geometric patterns.

Authentic Saint-Louis stemware from the early twentieth century often features signature wheel-cut patterns such as Massenet, precise diamond geometric cuts, and long faceted stems with distinct knops. While earlier pieces may bear an etched acid mark or paper label on the base, identification relies heavily on pattern catalogues, cut quality, and glass weight.

Coloured stemware adds architectural height and tone to contemporary table settings. Placing green overlay hock glasses alongside neutral porcelain dinnerware and polished silver cutlery creates a tailored visual contrast for formal dining or sideboard displays.

Hand wash antique lead crystal individually in lukewarm water using mild detergent and a soft cloth, avoiding dishwashers which cause clouding and thermal shock. Dry immediately with a lint-free microfibre towel and store upright to protect thin rims and delicate stems.
