I am not too sure of the age of these Champagne Flutes, I feel that they are possibly from the 1960's or 70's, any one with any knowledge it would be gratefully appreciated.

I have also listed matching box sets of:

  • Brandy Glasses
  • Whiskey Tumblers
  • High Ball Tumblers
I am open to offers to anyone who would like to secure the complete set of the four styles ,you will need to contact me for the postage quote which will be rather high given the combined weight of all four boxes being just under 9kg

The original RRP of these Champagne Flutes was $149

Please find following some information I found on the internet about Lead Crystal the care of these glasses and choosing the correct glass while I was researching the pattern name. I hope you enjoy the read.

Thank you to the Bohemia Crystal Website https://bohemiacrystal.com.au/about-bohemia-crystal/1:39/

Full lead crystal is “softer” than regular crystal and glass, and it will scratch, so it should be stored where it will not touch your other pieces. Full lead crystal, because of its softness, leads to deeper and finer cuts.

  • Do not store glasses upside down as this may cause stress to the rim, which is delicate and could create stress cracks and chips.
  • Carry your pieces one at a time, never in groups. Hold the stem of your glasses when moving and using them.
  • Wash your crystal in warm water with a mild detergent, and rinse with warm water.
  • Changes in temperature, such as going from very hot to cold could affect the crystal, and in some cases cause clouding or even cracking.
  • Dry with a soft clean lint free cloth or paper towels and never use anything abrasive on the piece.
  • DO NOT wash lead crystal glassware in a dishwasher Thermal shock (i.e. abrupt temperature change) and alkaline dish soap from the dishwasher could cause the lead crystal to break or corrode (become cloudy). Do not wash lead crystal in a dishwasher at any time if you wish to maintain the fine lustre of the product.
  • Cool down the glassware before reusing Do not use the glassware while is still warm after washing. Abrupt temperature change (especially from high to low temperatures, such as adding ice to a warm glass), may cause the glass to break. Wait until the glassware reaches room temperature. 
  • Please note: glassware retains the best brilliance if hand washed. 

LEAD CRYSTAL
When lead oxide is added to the basic glass mixture, “lead crystal” is produced. The amount of lead oxide added, determines the classification of the crystal, as well as the strength and malleability of the crystal. It also enhances the brilliance and clarity of the glass. Semi-lead crystal (crystalline) contains approximately 8 -10% lead oxide, while the term “full lead crystal” is generally conceded to contain a minimum of 24% lead oxide. Lead oxide was initially introduced into crystal by the English approximately 250 years ago, due to the fact that it has a low melting temperature (1000 - 2000 degrees Celsius) and it also adds brilliance to the product when cut.

It should also be noted that the most important reason for using lead oxide, is to soften the glass and, therefore, facilitate cutting and engraving on the item as a means of decoration. There are obviously disadvantages of having a softer glass product, i.e. it is more unstable during temperature changes; if softer, then it tends to chip or scratch much more easily.

Choosing the right glass

High Alcohol Content/ Hard Liquor 

  •  A glass that is a smaller size is recommended to allow the alcohol to be sipped gradually.

Carbonated Sparkling Drinks 

  • Tall, more narrow stemware is preferred as it enables the bubbles to travel mildly and aesthetically. An exception is beer, which is normally served in a large glass such as a beer mug.
Alcohol with a featured Aroma and Taste

  • For alcohol with a distinctive aroma, such as wine, a rounder bowl and a slightly narrowed mouth is desired which allows the flavour to keep longer in the glass.

  • Condition: New other (see details)
  • Condition: From what I can tell this boxed set of Champagne Flutes have never been used...they have age soil, not all of the glasses have their labels attached and some of the labels are missing. I did have to put water in one to show what the capacity is. There are no chips or cracks.
