This is a Cristallerie Saint-Louis Astrid pattern red wine glass, dating from around 1930. The design features an Art Deco aesthetic with distinctive decoration of acid-etched “sheaves of water” (gerbes d’eau). This is one of four that we have in stock at time of listing. THE PRICE IS FOR ONE GLASS.
The glass is in excellent condition for its age. It shows a little age related wear and tear to the rim of the base consistent with some 100 years of age and use.
The glass has a funnel-shaped bowl measuring 7.2 cm (2.9 inches) in diameter at the upper rim. The glass has been blown in clear glass and then etched with gerbes d’eau. The bowl sits on a short, knopped stem and a plain foot which measures 6 cm (2.4 inches) in diameter. The glass is 9.8 cm (3.9 inches) in height. There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any obvious signs of restoration. It is unsigned as all St. Louis crystal was until 1936.
The glass weighs in at 95 g. ( ~ 3 1/2 oz.).
