Vintage Barthmann Crystal Liqueur Glasses Set 6, 1960s, West Germany

Barthmann Cristall Liqueur Glasses. Exquisite liqueur glasses, handcrafted by the renowned German manufactory, Barthmann Cristall. Dating back to the 1960s, these glasses represent the pinnacle of German glassmaking artistry, a legacy of precision, refinement, and unwavering commitment to quality. These are not ordinary glasses. Crafted from high-quality crystal containing 30% lead oxide – a hallmark of Swarovski crystal – these glasses possess a brilliance and clarity seldom seen. This high lead content gives rise to the coveted "silver crystal" effect, known for its exceptional light play and the distinct, bell-like resonance when gently tapped. The intricate diamond cutting, meticulously executed by hand, maximizes this light interaction, creating a mesmerizing display of sparkle and shimmer. The colored overlay crystal further enhances this effect, adding another layer of depth and visual interest. The process of creating these glasses is a testament to the dedication and skill of the Barthmann Cristall artisans. Each glass is painstakingly handcrafted, a labor of love requiring countless hours of meticulous work. From the initial shaping of the glass to the final polishing, every step is performed with precision and care, ensuring that each piece is a masterpiece of craftsmanship. The price is for set of 6 glasses. Height: 12.5 cm. In excellent condition, no chips, cracks or crazing. _______________________________________________ I sell ONLY Vintage and Antique items.
