Description
These vintage etched wine glasses come as a pair, each a clear glass bowl ringed with a fine band of pattern just beneath the rim. The etching runs in neat rows: a scalloped line, a slim plain ring, then a frieze of long ovals with small leaf sprigs hanging from them, frosted soft white against the clear glass. The bowl is rounded and generous, set on a slender stem and a wide, flat foot. Each glass holds approximately 250ml, a comfortable pour with room to swirl, and stands 17.6cm tall and 8.5cm across at its widest.
We think they belong on the dining table, where the etched band catches candlelight and gives an everyday supper a sense of occasion. They suit red, white or rosé alike, and the 250ml bowl is a sensible size for a proper glass without overfilling. Because the pattern sits high on the bowl, the lower half stays clear, so the colour of the wine shows through beautifully. They sit just as happily on a sideboard drinks tray, at a long weekend lunch with friends, or brought out for a quiet glass at the end of the day. As a pair they are ready for an evening in for two, and they look right among both vintage china and plain modern plates.
Each one is clear glass throughout, with the pattern etched into the bowl for a soft frosted finish and a fine rim. For care, we'd suggest washing them by hand in warm soapy water and drying with a soft, lint-free cloth, holding the bowl rather than the stem as you polish. Stored upright in a cupboard, they stay bright and ready for the next pour. Lay them out side by side at the table, or wrap the pair as a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves setting a good table.
