Rosenthal - Elsa Fischer - Treyden - Drinking set (2) - Fortune - Crystal

Elegant pair of champagne/dessert crystal coupes from the Fortuna series, designed by Elsa Fischer-Treyden for Rosenthal (Germany).

Crystal coupe in transparent crystal with a hand-cut radiating pattern
Conical stem/base in smoky gray glass, blown separately and assembled to the coupe

Authentic Rosenthal mark (crown with italic R) engraved on the bottom

Hand-blown glass: slight height variation between the two pieces (about half a centimeter), a typical and appreciated trait of the handcrafted craftsmanship of the era, not a defect (see last image)
