Art Deco era Swedish crystal translucent smoked stemware set of 24, service for 12.
Hand blown quality Swedish crystal with heat finished rims and applied stem. Bases are inverted. Pontil mark is finished clean and smooth. Color is smoke black with just the slightest hint of moss green. High quality colored crystal of medium weight with a nice ting. Saucer shaped wafer stem is solid glass.
Vintage Swedish crystal was some of the finest made in the world. Maker uncertain. Suspect Orrefors, Simon Gate (Sweden), See image 7 which shows a variety of 1920’s Simon Gate (Orrefors) crystal goblets; the goblet on the right appears to be the exact pattern of this set. The glass recipes contains manganese, a mineral used to replace lead during the World Wars and used through the 1950’s. Manganese causes a glow under black-light, see image 6.
Fabulous find – set of 24. Includes 12 water or wine goblets and 12 champagne, cocktail or desert goblets. Large measures 5.25″ tall, smaller measures 4″ tall. Both have 4″ wide bowls. They have large full bowls with a girth of 12″. All are in excellent condition except one of the cocktail goblets which bears a very tiny rim chigger.
