Pair of Edinburgh Crystal ‘Star of Edinburgh’ Design Liqueur or Cordial Glasses

This is a pair of high quality cut lead crystal liqueur glasses from the ‘Star of Edinburgh’ suite by Edinburgh Crystal.

The bucket shaped bowl is cut with a complex design consisting of three large and three small motifs, which alternate around the bowl. The larger motif comprises a star formed by two horizontal wedge cuts with five angulated wedge cuts above and below. Each pair of adjacent wedge cuts above the horizontal contains a three-pointed fan. The two outer wedge cuts below the horizontal curve down to form a swag that connects to the adjacent large motif.  The smaller motif is formed from pairs of angulated wedge cuts that cross the line and come to a point that is topped by a three-pointed fan. The small triangular shaped panel formed between the swag and the wedge cuts is further cut with a lattice of small diamonds.

The stem is of double capstan form. The foot is star cut and marked on the edge with the word ‘EDINBURGH’.

Each glass has a height of approximately 10.3cm, with a diameter at the rim of about 4.5cm and across the foot of about 5.6cm on one glass and 5.1cm on the other. This minor discrepancy in the dimensions is due to the handmade nature of the glasses.

They are in excellent condition, with no chips or cracks.
