Jan Eisenloeffel: Crystal Champagne Coupe from the 1928 design for the Kristalunie Maastricht, made of hand-cut top-quality lead crystal.
In 1928, as Art Deco spread a new wave across western design, the Amsterdam jeweler and silversmith designed this crystal drinkware with brilliant facets so as to capture the twinkle of lights at the top of the stem. It always looked so glamorous in the hand (and in photographs) that it was re-branded for the American market under the name \'Starlight\'.
Item is in excellent (Like-New) condition with NO Chips or Cracks.
Top quality craftsmanship from a bygone era.
