Set of 6 Venetian Crystal Hock Wine Glasses – Gold Rococo Enamel Decoration | 6 Colours | Twisted Air-Twist Stem | Gold Rim | 20 cm
Set of 6 Venetian Crystal Hock Wine Glasses | Gold Rococo Enamel Arabesque Decoration | 6 Different Colours | Twisted Air-Twist Stem | Gold Rim Line | approx. 20 cm
A breathtaking and complete set of six Venetian crystal hock wine glasses — each one a different colour, each one decorated with an exquisite applied gold Rococo enamel arabesque covering the entire bowl, and each one standing on a twisted air-twist crystal stem with a gold-rimmed circular foot. Together they form one of the most spectacular and joyful sets of decorative crystal you will ever encounter — a rainbow of colour and gold that transforms any table into a celebration.
The six colours are: ruby red, emerald green, cobalt blue, turquoise, amethyst purple, and champagne / smoke — each a deep, saturated, jewel-like tone that glows with extraordinary luminosity when light passes through the crystal. The gold Rococo enamel decoration — swirling acanthus scrolls, arabesques, and floral motifs — is applied to the entire surface of each bowl, creating a shimmering, intricate pattern that catches the light from every angle. The twisted air-twist stem is the signature technique of Venetian crystal craftsmanship, requiring exceptional skill to produce and impossible to replicate by machine.
This style of crystal glass — coloured balloon bowl, gold enamel decoration, twisted stem, gold-rimmed foot — is the quintessential expression of the Venetian crystal tradition as it developed in the 19th and 20th centuries for the luxury European and export market, and is actively collected across Europe and internationally.
