This is a pair of good quality cut lead crystal brandy glasses from the ‘Mayfair’ suite by Royal Brierley.
Each glass has a capacious round bowl that tapers in to merge with the short, solid stem and then the plain, slightly domed foot. The latter is unmarked.
The bowl is cut with a band of eight large crosses, the upper and lower limbs of which come into close approximation. In the diamond-shaped panel formed between adjacent crosses is a further cross with elongated lower limbs that bisect the lower limbs of the larger crosses. Above the centre of each large cross is a three-limbed fan.
One glass bears the original red paper label, which reads ‘ROYAL BRIERLEY SINCE 1776’.
In addition, the glasses come in their original satin-lined Royal Brierley presentation box.
Each glass has a height of approximately 12.6cm, with a diameter across the rim of about 7.4cm and across the foot of about 7.3cm.
Each glass has a liquid capacity (to the brim) of 350ml.
They have an unwrapped weight of 610g.
They are in excellent condition, with no chips or cracks.
