1960s Cranberry Red Wine Glasses – Timeless Dining Stemware

This Set of 6 Red Wine Glasses features a tulip silhouette and a faceted texture, offering a timeless aesthetic for curated kitchen/dining rooms.

Each vessel is a stunning example of mid-century "cut to clear" artistry, where a vibrant cranberry-red overlay has been meticulously etched to reveal a frosted botanical pattern of delicate ferns and floral sprays. The stems are elegantly long and multi-faceted, designed to catch and refract light through the clear crystal base, leading up to a generous bowl finished with a hand-painted 24K gold rim. This combination of rich color and intricate wheel-cut detailing was a hallmark of high-end European glass houses, often associated with Bohemian or Romanian craftsmanship of the 1960s and 70s.

Designed for the sophisticated host, these glasses bring a sense of regal history to a modern table setting. The saturation of the cranberry glass is achieved through the traditional use of gold chloride in the batch, resulting in a hue that remains vibrant even after decades of use. While the gold rims add a touch of formal opulence, the organic nature of the etched fern pattern allows them to feel equally at home in a more eclectic, bohemian setting. This complete set of six is a rare find in such excellent condition, making them a perfect choice for a wedding gift or a holiday centerpiece. They serve as a grounded reminder of an era when fine glassware was both a functional necessity and a prized work of art.

Details: They measure about 7.25" in height with a 2.75" opening. Excellent condition.
