The image features Rosenthal Linear Smoke Berlin Crystal Glasses. Here's some helpful information about them:
Design:
These are vintage crystal glasses with a square base and a silver-banded rim. The "Linear Smoke" refers to the smoky gray color in the base and potentially in the decorative band.
Manufacturer:
They were made by Rosenthal, a German company known for high-quality glassware and porcelain. The specific line is "Berlin Crystal".
Material:
Being crystal, they likely contain lead oxide, which gives them a higher refractive index (sparkle) and a clearer ring when tapped compared to standard glass.
Age:
These glasses are likely vintage, possibly dating back to the mid-20th century
Crystal glasses should be hand-washed to prevent damage. See less
