Description

Superb, highest quality, set of 18 cut crystal tall spirit glasses. These beautiful glasses are stunning quality, the shape is lovely and the stems are exquisite. The cutting is deep and crisp. Multi faceted star cut basses. All are in perfect condition with no chips. Very hard to find big sets of glasses of this quality now. 

This set of glasses is part of a much larger suite of 70 glasses, all matching that we found packed away in boxes in the attic of a house we recently cleared. The glasses were all rather dirty having been stored in the house attic for a large number of years. Once all washed it became apparent they have hardly been used at all. Please phone if you would like a price for the whole suite. 

SIZE; 2" diameter by 5" tall

CIRCA; 1910 - 1920

FAQs

Cut crystal glassware gained immense popularity during the 18th and 19th centuries, particularly with developments in lead glass manufacturing that allowed for deeper, more intricate light-refracting cuts.

These items are traditionally crafted from heavy lead crystal, shaped via glassblowing, and finished by hand-cutting geometric patterns using abrasive wheels before polishing.

Authentic pieces often feature subtle hand-cut irregularities, a resonant ring when struck lightly, weighty lead content, and wear marks on the polished base known as pontil scars or bottom friction.

They can be displayed on a mirrored drinks tray, within a glass-fronted cabinet, or utilised practically on a bar cart to introduce textural sparkle and classic elegance to contemporary dining spaces.

Antique crystal should always be washed by hand in lukewarm water using mild detergent, avoiding sudden temperature changes and abrasive scrubbers, and dried immediately with a lint-free linen cloth.
