With a generous 9 fluid ounce capacity, they are ideal for serving wine, water, or even a dazzling vintage cocktail. Rock Sharpe Crystal: A Name Synonymous with Quality and Style. In the roaring thirties, Rock Sharpe Crystal was the epitome of refined taste, gracing the shelves of the finest department stores. This collection, known for its exceptional quality and intricate designs, was crafted by Cataract-Sharpe, a renowned cutting house. They sourced their pristine blanks directly from Libbey Glass, a name synonymous with American glassmaking excellence, ensuring each piece was of the highest caliber. The Enchanting Talbot Pattern: A Dance of Light and Shadow. Prepare to be mesmerized by the Talbot pattern (also known as #2014). Notice the exquisite fine cutting, a hallmark of Rock Sharpe. Delicate, grey-cut flowers bloom across the crystal, appearing as ethereal white blossoms that seem to float in the light. Each optic cut piece also possesses vertical sprays of leaves along the base. This subtle, sophisticated motif is perfectly complemented by the fanciful faceted and stepped stem, a signature element that defines the unmistakable Rock Sharpe aesthetic. Observe how the light plays across the facets, creating a dazzling display of sparkle and brilliance. These 12 Art Deco goblets have been lovingly preserved and are in overall excellent antique condition. A testament to their enduring quality, they are ready to grace your table and be admired for generations to come. In keeping with their age, two or three pieces bear the tiniest of fleabites – minute imperfections that are barely noticeable and only serve to authenticate their antique heritage.
