Available

A pair of antique British lead crystal rummers or goblets, dating to approximately the 1920s and decorated with deep geometric hand-cut patterns. The broad bowls feature a distinctive band of oval lens cuts above a dense star and diamond-style cut section, supported by short knopped stems and radiating cut feet. Their form and decoration closely correspond with specialist examples of high-quality British lead crystal rummers from the early 20th century. Details Product type: Rummers / goblets Quantity: Pair / 2 glasses Material: Cut crystal, attributed Origin: Britain, attributed Maker: Unmarked / unknown Pattern: Unknown Approximate date: Circa 1920s Decoration: Oval lens cuts with deep geometric star cutting Dimensions Height: approximately 12.7 cm / 5 in Bowl diameter: approximately 9 cm / 3.5 in Foot diameter: approximately 7.5 cm / 3 in Capacity: approximately 375 ml / 12.7 US fl oz per glass Combined unwrapped weight: approximately 1.89 kg / 4.17 lb Due to the handmade nature of the glasses, there may be slight variations in dimensions between the two pieces. Condition Good antique condition overall. Each glass has one very small chip / flea bite. These are reflected in the price and should be examined in the close-up photographs before purchase. Light surface wear consistent with age and previous use may also be present. The combination of the broad bowl, short knopped stem and substantial cut foot is characteristic of traditional rummer-style drinking glasses. Today they can be used for wine, port, sherry or other spirits, or displayed as part of a collection of early British glassware. The value of this pair lies in the substantial quality of the glass, the multiple styles of deep cutting and their survival as a matching pair from approximately a century ago. The maker has not been conclusively identified, so no factory attribution is made in this listing. A distinctive antique gift for a collector of British glass, vintage barware or traditional tableware. More designs are available in our shop—choose the one that speaks to you!
