Josephinenhütte “Josephine” Champagne Glasses, Gold Rim, circa 1900 (Set of 6)
A refined set of antique champagne glasses produced by Josephinenhütte, one of the most respected Silesian glassworks of the late 19th and early 20th century.
These elegant glasses feature a well-balanced conical bowl finished with a delicate hand-applied gold rim. The long, slender stems are entirely hand-engraved, showing a fine textured pattern that reflects light beautifully and highlights the quality of craftsmanship.
The design reflects the aesthetics of the Art Nouveau period, combining elegance, clarity of form, and attention to detail. Despite their historical origin, these glasses have a timeless presence and integrate effortlessly into both modern table settings, including minimalist interiors, and more classical arrangements.
This model, known as “Josephine”, is documented in the official Josephinenhütte catalogue, confirming its authenticity and historical relevance.
