Comments

The six tumblers that comprise this set of glasses are made of thin-walled, clear glass that exhibits no imperfections or air bubbles that, along with thicker side walls, are characteristic of earlier, blown glass.  The outside bottoms of these glasses appear to have polished pontils, but the bottom, like the side walls, are thin.  Fourteen facets are cut into the bottom half-inch of each tumbler.
