Early 1800's set of 8 cut glass goblets. Heavy, each weighs approx. between 376 to 476 grams. Heights are not all exactly the same - these are blown glass, individually made and hand cut.
Sharply cut glass, diamond hobnail, plain rim and octagonal base. Slab-cut stem, starburst underneath. 14.5 cm high, top rim 8.25 cm diameter, foot rim 7.5 cm diameter. 4 have shallow top rim chips, mainly inside the rim. 4 have foot rim chips, two of which are larger, and two of which are mainly under the rim surface. There are a few additional very minor nicks to facets of the foot, and the same to edges of the cut areas. All normal wear and tear for a rare surviving set of 8 of these antique goblets. Still very usable, and certainly extremely decorative. Can also be used as dessert glasses.
