This is a wee set of FOUR vintage Edinburgh Crystal slender glasses or champagne flutes. Ideal for sipping sparkly sumber wines.
They are a match set of four but as they are hand engraved there is some difference on the star pattern on the foot - I have photographed each one for your inspection. They are in excellent condition with no damage. They are not signed on the base - but are definitely the attractive and modernist Symphony pattern. This pattern has vertical cuts, a slender smooth stem and to trim, as shown below. This design is a harder to find one - and is perhaps a more contemporary one.
They measure as follows: 8 1/2 inches in height. The rim has a diameter of 1 3/4 inches. The foot is 2 1/2 inches. When tapped they have a beautiful ring, which is a mark of quality.
I have taken lots of photographs for your inspection.
I have another pair listed on the website - but the star on the base is different (that pair the star goes out to the edge of the foot - on these four the star stops away from the edge with a plain margin around - so listed those ones separately.
I am listing the set here at a very fair £15 each glass. UK Postage will be with Royal Mail Recorded post. This will be applied to your order at the checkout.
History: The Edinburgh and Leith Flint Glassworks was established in the 1860s at Leith Walk Glassworks and later at Norton Park in Edinburgh. In 1921 the glassworks became part of Webbs Crystal Glass Company.
In 1955, The Edinburgh and Leith Glassworks became Edinburgh Crystal, and the next decade saw further expansion and eventually the demolition of the old glassworks at Norton Park and new premises at Penicuik 10 miles south of Edinburgh.
Edinburgh Crystal went into administration in July 2006. Although the brand was taken over by the Waterford / Wedgwood Group the factory no longer exists and the brand is now discontinued.
The price to send four glasses will be capped at £5.50 this will be applied to your order at the checkout.
