ABOUT PRODUCTID 19327
This set of four crystal glasses from 1950s Germany reflects the clarity of form and functional restraint emblematic of post-war modernist design. Each glass is built upon a substantial, perfectly cubical base featuring sharp, precisely beveled edges. Resting atop these geometric footings is a hemispherical, highly polished bowl — completely unadorned, free from etching or ornamentation. The junction between stem and cup is crisply defined, while the mirror-like finish enhances the transparency and refined properties of colorless crystal. The substantial weight and the geometric proportions of the bases offer notable stability in use, while the meticulously executed shaping and finishing on every detail speak to the excellence of mid-century German glassmaking. The set has been preserved in very good condition, with no visible signs of use, chips, or cracks.These glasses serve as quiet narrators of post-war Europe — a time when clarity and calm order became ideals in daily objects. Their transparent, crystal surfaces act as mirrors, reflecting the restrained optimism of the 1950s. The weighty, geometric bases are reminiscent of the constructive logic that defined modernist interiors, while the pure, open bowls invite light and echo the conviviality of gatherings around the table. In each, the spirit of rational freshness suggests that simplicity offers a lasting, quiet dignity.These glasses can be incorporated equally well into minimalist interiors as into curatorial mid-century modern settings. They pair effortlessly with white porcelain or classic glassware, but also accompany ceramics that have a smooth, monochrome texture. It is worth presenting them on plain, natural-fiber tablecloths, a marble surface, or beside substantial metal candlesticks to underscore their clarity and geometric precision. In
