These substantial collector's items from the 1950s/60s captivate with their deep, luminous amber-yellow hue and masterful craftsmanship.

The design combines architectural engravings with classic cut elements. Particularly noteworthy are the panoramic designs encircling the glass and the precise lens cuts on the stem and base, which create a stunning refraction of light.

Special Features of the Production (Unique Character)

These glasses are an impressive testament to traditional, mouth-blown glassmaking. Unlike mass-produced industrial glass, this set exhibits the authentic characteristics of genuine handcraftsmanship:

• Individual Weight: At approximately 612g and 714g, the goblets are exceptionally heavy and substantial.

• Authentic Details: The bases show traces of the manufacturing process – while one glass has a smoothly polished base, the other displays the original cut mark of the glassmaker's pipe (puntel mark).

• Variation in Dimensions: Minimal differences in height and base diameter underscore that each glass was individually shaped by a master glassmaker.

Condition & Authenticity
The condition is excellent (investment grade). The glasses are free of chips, cracks, or clouding. Particularly valuable for collectors: Both pieces still bear the original gold labels of the Moosbauer manufactory ("Genuine Crystal Glass, Hand-Cut"). This piece has an attribution mark,
