Vintage Bohemia Crystal Ruby Wine Glasses (6)
This set of six vintage Bohemia crystal ruby wine glasses with twisted stems is a stunning example of high-quality European craftsmanship.
Bohemia crystal is renowned for its high-quality glassware. Each piece is individually crafted, ensuring a high level of quality and uniqueness. Bohemia crystal originates from the Czech Republic, a region with a long history of glassmaking. The brand is well-regarded for its tradition of producing beautiful and durable glassware.
The red colour in crystal glasses is typically achieved by adding gold chloride to the glass mixture. This process, known as "striking," involves dispersing gold nanoparticles into the glass, which gives it a deep red hue. The amount of gold used can affect the intensity of the red colour, with more gold resulting in a deeper shade.
Each glass is 16cm H x 6cm D at base and weighs 156g. Total weight is 936g.

Lead Crystal: If your glasses are made of lead crystal (which may contain up to 24% lead oxide), they are safe for occasional use. However, avoid storing acidic or alcoholic beverages in them for extended periods, as this can cause lead to leach into the liquid.
