This is a set of four high-quality cut and moulded lead crystal wine glasses from the ‘Ness’ suite produced by Edinburgh Crystal.
The capacious balloon-shaped bowl is cut with a band of six large crosses, each formed from two pairs of parallel lines. The centre of each cross is surmounted by a three-pointed fan cut. Within the diamond-shaped panel formed between adjacent crosses is a vertical star cut.
The stem has a waisted upper portion and is of baluster form; it is cut with six facets that continue down towards the foot.
The foot is star cut and marked at the edge with the words ‘EDINBURGH CRYSTAL’.
In addition, the glasses come in their original purple satin-lined box.
Each glass has a height of approximately 17.0cm, with a diameter across the rim of about 6.7cm and across the foot of about 6.7cm.
Each glass has a liquid capacity (to the brim) of 210ml.
They have an unwrapped weight of 810g (excluding the box).
They are in excellent condition, with no chips or cracks, although there is some minor wear to the edges of the box.
