This is a matched set of six Cristallerie St. Louis Thistle pattern claret wine glasses, produced from 1913 through to the present day.
The glasses are in excellent condition for their age. They show little age related wear and tear to the rims of the bases consistent with some minimal use.
The glasses have thistle-shaped bowls measuring 7.2 cm (2.9 inches) in diameter at the rims. The glasses have been mould-blown in clear glass with a pattern of extended olives to the bases and thin fluting above. The rims have been etched and gilded. The bowls sit on six-sided vertically cut stems which have been notch-cut to the edges. The stems end in feet which measure 6.7 cm (2.6 inches) in diameter and which display the “CRISTAL ST LOUIS FRANCE” water mark. The upper edges of the feet have been gilded in gold. The glasses are 14.5 cm (5 5/8 inches) in height. There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any obvious signs of restoration. Dimensions and weight varies slightly from glass to glass as should be expected of hand-made glass. Two of the glasses have the upper edge of the feet gilded in block gold and four have open lattice gilding. They are otherwise identical.
Each glass weighs in at 140 g. ( ~ 5 oz.).
