Rare find! I've not personally seen this color before and research shows they are very few around.
This striking set of four, hand-blown goblets in a rich, luminous green are likely made by Portieux-Vallerysthal circa 1930s–1950s. Each piece is hand-crafted with a smoothed pontil and no seams, showcasing traditional European glassblowing techniques. The elegant tulip-shaped bowl and gently flared foot lend themselves beautifully to both display and use.
Perfect for serving wine or water-—or simply as a sculptural accent in a glassware collection or barware vignette. A delight for lovers of green, these timeless glasses pair well with mid-century modern and eclectic interiors.
The Portieux Vallerysthal Company produced beautiful glass with an interesting history. Under the patronage of Duke Leopold of Lorraine, Francois Magnien founded the company in 1705, in Vosges, France, close to the raw materials needed to make glass.
Vallerystahl began their glass production in 1836. French and Bohemian glass workers created a stunning array of opaline and decorative glass which was coveted and sold very well. In 1870, this area of France became part of Germany, and the Vallerysthal company purchased Portieux in the late 19th century.
Portieux Vallerystahl to be able to keep selling their pieces to the French clients as well as their new German market. They incorporated the new combined company both in France and in Germany, to avoid complications should ownership of the region change countries again.
