Vintage Heavy Bottom Glass Coupe

Dispatches from Sydney within 1–2 business days

A substantial vintage coupe by Crown Crystal Glass, one of Australia’s most respected glassmakers of the late twentieth century. Designed in 1971 and produced through the 1970s at the Bourke Street, Waterloo factory, this piece reflects the era’s focus on durability, clarity, and everyday elegance.

The heavy base provides excellent balance and a reassuring weight in hand, making it ideal for champagne, martinis, aperitifs, or layered desserts. Clean lines and a generous bowl give it a timeless versatility that sits comfortably in both modern and classic settings.

Each piece is *vintage (see Specifications) and shows light signs of age consistent with careful use. Subtle variations in tone or small casting marks may be present and are part of the character of original production.

A practical piece of Australian glass history, made to be used and enjoyed for years to come.
