Jan Eisenloeffel - Kristalunie (Maastricht) - Water Glass 162mm (3)

Jan Eisenloeffel: Three wineglasses or water glasses (162mm) from the 1928 design for the Kristalunie Maastricht, made of hand-cut, full-lead crystal. In 1928, as Art Deco spread a new wave across western design, the Amsterdam jeweler and silversmith designed this crystal drinkware with brilliant facets so as to capture the twinkle of lights at the top of the stem. It always looked so glamorous in the hand (and in photographs) that it was re-branded for the American market under the name 'Starlight'. All three of these glasses are in excellent condition without any grazes, scratches or chips. Top craftsmanship from a bygone era. They come from our extensive collection, soon to be sold on Catawiki.
