Nachtmann - Drinking service (6) - grape - Lead crystal

6-piece Nachtmann “Traube” Roman wine glasses – Colored lead crystal – Absolute top condition (like new)

Description:
For sale is an exquisite and immaculate 6-piece set of original Roman wine glasses from Nachtmann, the legendary premium series “Traube.” These colorful classics are an absolute highlight of German glass art and come from a well-kept, pure display cabinet collection.

Tradition & Manufacture:
The world-famous series “Traube” was designed in 1949 and remains to this day the unmistakable masterpiece of the brand. These glasses were produced in traditional handcraft in Germany – made in the historic production facilities of Nachtmann in Neustadt an der Waldnaab (Bavaria). The set offered here comes from the production period of the 1960s to 1970s, the absolute heyday for highly refined over-engraved lead crystal. [1, 3, 4]

Quality & Genuine Handwork:
The glasses no longer have paper labels – a typical and very positive sign of authentic vintage pieces that have been carefully cared for and hand-washed over decades. The genuine German artisanal expertise is evidenced instead by the unmistakable handcrafted details:

- The hexagonal stem: The glasses feature the characteristic, elaborately hexagonally cut stem with the distinctive, decorated knop (knob). This is the visual hallmark of the real Traube series.
- The relief-cut: The grapes and leaves are not simply flat-matte or superficially scratched. They were traditionally hand-engraved deeply, plastically, and perceptibly three-dimensionally into the crystal glass. Each grape is a tangible quality experience.

Condition:
The glasses are in an absolute dream condition and look like new:

- Display-case pristine with no signs of use.
- Absolutely flawless: No scratches, no clouding in the crystal.
- No “flea bites” or tiny chips on the upper rims.
- The six colors glow brilliantly and the characteristic sound of the heavy lead crystal is long-lasting and clear
