Wine glass (6) - Crystal - Two-zone cut decoration

Set of Six Lead Crystal Wine Glasses – Mid-Century European Craftsmanship

A refined set of six lead crystal wine glasses exemplifying the quality and craftsmanship associated with mid-century European glassmaking. The execution and materials are consistent with respected producers such as Val Saint Lambert (Belgium) or Edinburgh Crystal (Scotland).

DESIGN
Classic two-zone cut decoration combining precision with timeless elegance:
- Upper band: Diamond cross-hatch cutting that beautifully captures and refracts light
- Bowl: Vertical panel cutting (fluting) adding depth and brilliance

FORM: Gracefully tapered bowl on a slender stem with a well-balanced round foot

QUALITY INDICATORS
- Confirmed lead crystal, producing a clear, sustained resonance of over three seconds when tapped
- Substantial weight of 106 grams per glass, consistent with traditional European lead crystal (often 18–24% PbO)
- Hand-cut decoration with crisp edges and excellent clarity
- Strong prismatic light refraction characteristic of premium crystal

SPECIFICATIONS
- Set of six matching glasses
- Height: 16.5 cm
- Weight: 106 grams per glass

Suitable for white wine, rosé, or general wine service

CONDITION
Excellent vintage condition. All six glasses are free from chips and cracks. The cut patterns remain sharp, and the crystal retains its original brilliance. Ready for immediate use or elegant display.

PROVENANCE
Unmarked, as commonly found on export and hospitality lines produced by leading European manufacturers during the 1960s–1970s. Based on the weight, cutting quality, and overall craftsmanship, these glasses can confidently be attributed to a prestigious European lead crystal maker. The style and execution closely align with Val Saint Lambert’s accessible luxury ranges or Edinburgh Crystal’s professional hotel and restaurant productions.
