This rare set of four magnificent goblets pays homage to Shakespeare’s most famous tragedy. Released in 1985 as an exclusive edition by The Franklin Mint, these pieces combine masterful craftsmanship with the glamorous design of the 1980s.
Design & Materials
The goblets feature an extraordinary combination of materials:
• Goblet: Crafted from high-quality lead crystal, adorned with delicate 24-karat gold illustrations of Romeo and Juliet, set against a romantic backdrop of rose garlands.
• Stem & Base: A sculptural stem made of matte white bisque porcelain, reminiscent of classical neoclassical columns and accented with subtle gold rings.
Stylistic Classification
This set is a prime example of Postmodern Historicism and the Hollywood Regency style. With its floral ornamentation and romantic aesthetic, it also incorporates elements of Neo-Rococo, making it a perfect statement piece for eclectic or classically elegant interiors.
Condition & Details
• Condition: Excellent condition, unused ("New Old Stock"). Some of the original labels are still present.
• Dimensions: Height: 23 cm | Diameter: 8.5 cm.
• Special feature: The base mark confirms authenticity: "The Romeo and Juliet Goblins - Fine Porcelain and Lead Crystal - © 1985 The Franklin Mint".
Curatorial Note:
Thanks to its impressive height of 23 cm and the perfect condition of the gold decoration, this is a museum-quality set that serves equally well as functional tableware and as an exclusive decorative object.
