Antique Gilded Hock Glasses – Hand Blown with Facet Cut Stems & Greek Key Design (Set of 4)
£ 75.00
On offer is a superb set of four antique hand-blown hock glasses, featuring fine craftsmanship and elegant design elements typical of high-end European glassware, possibly French in origin, dating from the late 19th to early 20th century.
These exceptional glasses are made of clear blown crystal, each with a beautifully hollow facet-cut stem, offering both visual detail and comfortable balance in hand. The bowl is engraved with a classic Greek key motif — a timeless design associated with sophistication and neoclassical revival — and highlighted with gilded accents. The original gilding extended to the rim of the base and bowl, though it has partially worn away with time, adding to their antique charm and authenticity.
Each glass stands approximately 180mm high (roughly 7 inches) and is in excellent condition, with no chips, cracks, or restoration. The clarity of the glass, the precision of the facet cutting, and the finesse of the engraving all suggest these were finely made, possibly for a luxury market.
