Theresienthal - Drinking service (11) - Marlowe Gold - 24kt gold

Prestigious Crystal Service "Marlowe Gold" – Theresienthal Manufacture (Germany, circa 1950-1960)
A refined Mid-Century Modern era dining collection, produced by the historic Kristallglasmanufaktur Theresienthal (Bavaria), a distinguished manufactory founded in 1836 under the patronage of King Louis I and renowned for supplying the most important European royal courts.

This service belongs to the elite line "Marlowe", presented in the sophisticated color variant "Smoke" (Fumé), a warm gray-brown shade that embodies the aristocratic elegance of the 1950s and 1960s. Each piece is a masterpiece of artisanal craft: the body, in fine mouth-blown lead crystal, is crowned by a sumptuous 24-carat gold band, enriched by an ornamental frieze with vegetal and geometric motifs finely engraved by acid. The design stands out for the visual contrast between the colored goblet and the stem in transparent crystal, the latter hand-cut with a faceted "diamond" profile that guarantees superior geometric brilliance and a perfectly balanced grip.

The service, of exceptional completeness and rarity in terms of condition, consists of 26 pieces distributed as follows:
1 Decanter Bottle H 23 cm

5 Wine glasses (mid-sized); H 13 cm

5 White wine glasses H 10.5 cm

This complete set represents not only a luxury object for everyday use but a collectible investment of great significance in the German art glassmaking landscape. A unique opportunity to acquire a piece of Bavarian regal design history in excellent condition.
