Pair of Edinburgh Crystal Cross and Fan Cut Lead Crystal Small Wine Glasses

This is a pair of high quality cut and moulded lead crystal wine glasses, probably attributable to Edinburgh Crystal. The rounded bowl merges imperceptibly with the tapering stem. It is cut in its lower half with a design consisting of four large criss-crosses, the upper and lower limbs of which come in to close approximation. This is overcut below by two crosses that diminish in size as they approach the base of the bowl. This creates a lattice of raised diamonds around the base. In the upper arms of each large criss-cross there is a three-pointed fan cut. The stem and foot are plain; the latter is unmarked. Each glass has a height of approximately 14.8cm, with a diameter across the rim of about 5.0cm and across the foot of about 5.5cm. They are in excellent condition, with no chips or cracks.
