Crafted in overlay lead crystal, each goblet features a different cut-to-clear colour, including emerald green, topaz, amethyst, ruby, cobalt blue, and smoke. One glass retains its original Joska Kristall factory label, while all six display matching forms with faceted stems, radial-cut feet, and finely executed wheel engraving.

Each goblet is decorated with bold starburst, fan, and cross-hatched motifs cut through richly coloured overlays to reveal the brilliant clear crystal beneath. The precision wheel engraving, elegant proportions, and substantial lead crystal construction exemplify the traditional craftsmanship for which Joska Kristall is renowned. Although each glass features a unique colour, the coordinated form and decoration create an impressive Harlequin presentation.

Original factory-labelled examples are increasingly sought after by collectors of European crystal, with the surviving Joska label providing additional confidence in attribution. Suitable for entertaining, display, or a collection of fine German crystal, this matching set offers exceptional craftsmanship and enduring decorative appeal.
