Superb HAWKES Antique Set 4 CHAMPAGNE GLASSES
AMERICAN BRILLIANT CUT GLASS Magnificent
Size Approx. 6. 5/8"Tall, 3. 5/8" Across tops, base 2. 15/16" Great proportions.
HAND ETCHING is varied and Magnificent- These are the best of the best- description and photos do not begin to do these justice- ALL HAND CUT AND HAND ETCHED
Bowl of glass has a double-horizontal ring border at top, which has panels of straight vertical lines alternating with clear space. Bottom half of glass has brilliant cut, clear, EXTREMELY UNUSUAL scene of an etched flowerpot with foliage spilling out on both sides and three FROSTED flowers above the pot. This image repeats 3 times around the glasses. Below this image is a 3 looped swirl cut, which looks like an eternity knot when viewed from looking into the glass. More panels of straight cut lines alternating with clear spaces go to the bottom of the bowl.
Etching is also on feet! Each foot has 3 sprays of leaves and straight cut lines.
Stems are a work of art- a large 12 sided flat faceted cut crystal PRISM below the bowl, which reflects light like a beacon
Below this, the stem has an inverted teardrop shape prism which is hexagonal and has shallow SCOOP CUTS down each edge.
Originals, not repros, antique/vintage matched set circa early 1900s, before they began etching the name HAWKES on the foot in the early 1920s
Very fine quality, these glasses are beautifully weighted and are a pleasure to hold
Foot is slightly domed to prevent condensation on table surfaces
Versatile size- classic shape for cocktails OR champagne
A Beautiful Clear and Loud PING When Struck
