Drinking service (6) - Crystal - Ancient Goblets

Important set of six large blown crystal goblets, hand-engraved, made between the late 19th century and the early 20th century (c. 1880–1910), of Central European provenance, German/Austro-Hungarian area.

The goblets are characterized by exceptional size, with a very wide and deep bowl, a type intended for use as water, beer, or large wines, in keeping with the practices of the era at noble and official tables.
The crystal is hand-blown, with a solid, well-proportioned base and a short stem—typical features of late 19th-century production in the Bohemian and Austro-Hungarian region.
The craftsmanship highlights a high-quality artisanal production, not industrial.
Each goblet is decorated with a noble heraldic coat of arms hand-engraved, composed of:
central shield, divided into quarters,
overlying crown,
rampant heraldic figures on the sides,
Crossed swords, a distinctive emblem of military or chivalric tradition.
The engraving is deep, satin-finished, and of excellent craftsmanship, typical of heraldic works carried out on commission for noble families or official contexts in Central Europe.
Very bright crystal, of excellent thickness and quality.
