This is a pair of high-quality cut and moulded lead crystal wine glasses from the ‘Tay’ suite by Edinburgh Crystal.
The rounded bowl is cut with a series of six large crosses, the upper and lower limbs of which come into close approximation. Within the diamond-shaped panel thus formed between adjacent crosses is a further cross, the lower limbs of which are elongated and extend down and bisect the lower limbs of the large crosses. Between the uppermost limbs of the large crosses is a three-pointed fan. The stem is moulded with a series of six facets, rendering it hexagonal in section. The foot is star cut and marked on the edge with the words ‘EDINBURGH CRYSTAL’.
Each glass has a height of approximately 17.3cm, with a diameter at the rim of about 7.3cm and across the foot of about 6.9cm.
Each glass has a liquid capacity (to the brim) of 225ml.
They have an unwrapped weight of 320g.
They are in excellent condition, with no chips or cracks.
