A set of six cut-to-clear, lead crystal champagne coupes or saucers, for champagne, Sekt, Cava, Prosecco and other sparkling wines. Second-hand.
What's for sale?
This is a set of six cut-to-clear, lead crystal glasses for Sekt, champagne and other sparkling wines, in six colours.
Cut-to-clear describes the technique of layering coloured glass over clear glass and cutting the pattern to reveal the clear glass beneath.
The Traube (grape) pattern incorporates grapes, leaves and geometric lines, and demonstrates the quality of Nachtmann's glass cutters. They're made of 24% lead crystal, have an intricate, faceted stem and star-cut foot.
In shape these are champagne coupes or saucers, with quite a deep bowl. They are harder to find in the Traube pattern than Nachtmann's taller hock glasses.
Who made them and when?
These are made by Nachtmann, the long-established, German manufacturer of lead crystal, based in Weiden, Bavaria. One of the glasses still has a label attached, some also have the Nachtmann monogram etched on the foot.
The Traube pattern has been made for many years, which means they're difficult to date.
