This is a pair of high-quality lead crystal claret wine glasses from the popular ‘Victoria’ suite, designed by Frank Thrower for Dartington Crystal.
The bowl is straight-sided and cylindrical. There is a flattened, discoid collar at the junction of the bowl and stem. The stem is wide and straight. It swells out slightly to form a small collar where it meets the broad, flat foot. The latter is plain and unmarked.
Each glass has a height of approximately 13.5cm, with a diameter across the rim of about 6.5cm and across the foot of about 6.8cm.
Each glass has a liquid capacity (to the brim) of 200ml.
They have an unwrapped weight of 460g.
They are in excellent condition, with no chips or cracks, although there is the odd enclosed bubble or piece of frit within the glass.
