Vintage 1970s Artland Etched Crystal Balloon Wine Glasses Swirl Design Set of 4

Description

Artland has been producing quality glassware since 1996, though this set appears to be from the 1970s based on the style and original stickers. These impressive balloon wine glasses feature elegant etched swirl designs that create subtle texture and visual interest against the clear crystal. The generous balloon bowl shape allows wines to breathe properly while the tall stems add formality and elegance. Standing over 9 inches tall with nearly 4-inch openings, these are substantial statement glasses designed to impress. The etched swirl pattern adds decorative flair without overwhelming the clean modern lines. Original Artland collection stickers remaining on all four glasses indicate these have been carefully preserved, likely saved for special occasions and rarely used. Each glass stands an impressive 9 3/8" tall with 3.875-inch mouth diameter, providing generous capacity perfect for red wines that benefit from aeration. This complete set of 4 provides service for intimate dinner parties with matching elegance. The substantial size and balloon shape make these ideal for serving bold red wines like Cabernet, Merlot, Zinfandel, or any full-bodied varietal. The etched swirl design catches candlelight beautifully during formal dinners. These versatile glasses also work for serving water at formal meals, displaying single stem flowers, or incorporating into a mixed crystal collection. Perfect for wine enthusiasts who appreciate proper stemware, formal dinner parties, romantic celebrations, holiday entertaining, or anyone building a quality wine glass collection. This set of 4 Artland etched crystal balloon glasses is in excellent vintage condition, appearing nearly unused as evidenced by the original collection stickers remaining on all pieces. No chips or cracks are present and the crystal has maintained perfect clarity. These glasses appeal to vintage crystal collectors, wine enthusiasts who appreciate proper stemware, and anyone seeking impressive formal glassware. The combination of substantial 9+ inch height, generous balloon bowl design, elegant etched swirl pattern, complete set of four matching pieces with original stickers, and excellent condition makes this an exceptional find. Perfect for serious wine service or as a special gift for the wine lover.
