Lot #85: Pair of Antique Victorian Cut Crystal Champagne Coupes - Thumbprint & Baluster Knop Stem Glasses

A beautiful, matching pair of heavy, antique late Victorian crystal champagne coupe glasses, dating to the late 19th century (circa 1880–1900). Hand-crafted from premium, brilliant lead crystal, each glass features a wide, shallow saucer bowl embellished with a uniform row of deeply carved "printie" or thumbprint oval facets that beautifully catch and refract ambient light.The bowls sit atop a classic structural baluster stem highlighted by a prominent central knop and faceted detailing, terminating in a solid, stable circular foot. This substantial, thick-walled design is characteristic of fine English glasshouses from the Stourbridge region. While originally intended for champagne, this exquisite pair serves as a highly romantic set of wedding/anniversary tasting cups, craft cocktail glasses, or as a high-quality replacement pair for an existing antique stemware service.
