Antique Hand Blown Colored Crystal Tall Goblet Set with Seals

Antique Hand Blown Colored Crystal Tall Goblet Set with Seals

Fine hand blown colored crystal with evergreen seal. All 6 footed tumblers in excellent condition with light bottom wear. Large tall glasses, measure 7″ tall, 3.25″ wide mouth, weigh 3/4 lb each. Each tumbler varies slightly in measurements as they were made by hand.

Hand-blown with applied seal in the form of a sprig or tree. Solid weighted bases are applied. Polished rims. Quality crystal of medium weight. Perhaps tall Mint Julip glassware? We believe this is Scandinavian glass or fine American glass (Steuben). Could be by Iittala (evergreen tree pattern called “Kuusi” matches the sprig on the seal) or could be from Plus Glasshytte or Boda Glass. Examples of sealed blown glass can also be found in references to Hoglund for Boda, Jacob E. or Michael Bang for Holmegaard, Orrefors, Kastrup, Riihimaki, Kuusi Iittala, and Steuben (American).

Circa late 1800’s – 1940’s. Scarce items. This is the only set like this we’ve seen. The crystal is quality and the goblets are very well-made. No inclusions or errors. Rings like a bell.
