Pair of Stuart Crystal ‘Ludlow’ Design Tall Champagne Glasses No. 29622

This is a pair of high-quality cut lead crystal tall champagne glasses from the ‘Ludlow’ suite by Stuart Crystal.

The elongated bowl tapers in towards the thickened base. It is cut in the lower half with a band of five large criss-crosses, the upper and lower limbs of which come in to close approximation. Each large cross is surmounted by a five-pointed fan. The diamond-shaped panel formed between adjacent large crosses is filled with a smaller cross, the lower limbs of which are elongated and cross over the lower limbs of the larger crosses.

The base of the bowl merges with the short stem; the latter has a large central ball knop.

The foot is discoid, and star cut in the centre; it is marked at the edge with the words ‘STUART ENGLAND’.

Each glass has a height of approximately 12.1cm, with a diameter across the rim of about 6.4cm and across the foot of about 5.6cm. There may be minor discrepancies in the dimensions due to the handmade nature of the glasses.

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