These glasses are a set of vintage mid century Bohemian crystal stemware, hand crafted in Czechoslovakia. (8x) Water goblet - The largest glass, typically used for serving water or other non-alcoholic beverages. (7x) Wine glass - Slightly smaller, intended for serving wine (likely red wine due to its wider bowl).
(3x) Champagne coupe - A shallow, broad-bowled glass used traditionally for champagne or cocktails. (5x) Dessert or cordial glass - Used for serving sweet liqueurs or dessert wines. (6x) Shot glass or liqueur glass - The smallest, meant for serving strong spirits like vodka, whiskey, or liqueurs. Each glass has an elegant design with a decorative textured stem and a silver rim, making them suitable for formal settings or special occasions. The stems of these glasses have a distinctive textured, embossed design that adds both visual interest and a tactile element to the pieces.
They feature an intricate raised bubble or cluster pattern, giving them a luxurious and ornate appearance. This type of design not only enhances grip but also reflects light beautifully, adding to their elegance. The style is reminiscent of mid-century Bohemian crystal designs, where intricate stem detailing was a hallmark of craftsmanship. The stems contrast with the smooth, clear bowls, creating a visually striking balance between simplicity and ornate detailing. I do not believe these were ever used by my grandparents since most of them still have the original maker's mark sticker on them.
