These 10 crystal champagne glasses were produced in Bohemia, part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the late 19th century. The specific maker is unknown. The glasses are 5 11/16 inches high and have a diameter of 3 ¾ inches. They are hand blown crystal and have hand cut stems. The stem of the glass is hollow for a reason. When champagne is poured into this type of glass the bubbles come up like a volcanic eruption. The decoration is heavily applied, hand painted enamel you can feel with your fingers. The roses are finely detailed and multi-colored. The maker thoughtfully backed the enamel painting with gold foil so that gold flowers show through to the inside of the glass. They have gilded accents and the rims are trimmed with gold. You will love the fine detail on these glasses and get an explosion of bubbles in your glass. Condition: Excellent
