Pair of Stuart Crystal ‘Stratford’ Design Lead Crystal Claret Wine Glasses

This is a pair of good quality lead crystal wine glasses from the ‘Stratford’ suite by Stuart Crystal.

The capacious bowl has a plain, pan-shaped upper portion; about halfway down this steps inwards and the base of the bowl is formed from five rings. There is a small collar at the junction of the bowl and the plain, straight stem. The foot is plain and marked in the centre with the words ‘RD. 681616 STUART’. This registered number corresponds to the date 10th March 1921.

Each glass has a height of approximately 10.3cm, with a diameter across the rim of about 7.3cm and across the foot of about 5.6cm. The original catalogue image states that this size was intended for ‘claret’.

Each glass has a liquid capacity (to the brim) of 150ml.

They have an unwrapped weight of 240g.

They are in excellent condition, with no chips or cracks, although there is the odd wear and tear scratch to the bowls commensurate with use.
