Vintage Bubble Stem Beer Glass

Dispatches from Sydney within 1–2 business days

Produced at the Crown Corning works in Waterloo, this 1970s glass features the distinctive bubble stem and a solid weighted base that gives stability, balance, and presence in the hand.

Originally made for hospitality service, the cylindrical bowl suits lager, spritz, soft drinks, or a small wine, while the clear pressed glass and compact proportions bring a clean, quietly sculptural quality to the table.

The indented band above the base provides a comfortable grip and creates a visual separation between the solid stem and the hollow upper form, a practical detail characteristic of Crown Corning’s serviceware from the period.

Each piece is *vintage (see Specifications) and may show minor variations consistent with its age. Price is for one glass. Limited quantities available. 

These bubble stem glasses are no longer in production and are best collected as a small set for everyday use or entertaining. Rare pieces for the modern table.

 

The Sydney glass maker Crown Crystal Glass (later Crown Corning) was the largest and most successful manufacturer of Australian domestic glassware in the last half of the 20th Century. Many of the company's award-winning products can still be found in many Australian households and a successful export drive sent Australian glass to many countries including the USA, UK, Netherlands, Germany, and even Scandinavia - itself a major exporter of quality glass.

Crown Crystal Glass are the parent company of another well known brand you're likely to see here - Australian made PYREX.

Heat-treated (Tempered) Soda-Lime Glass, thickened to withstand normal everyday use.

Rims are flame-cut to develop tiny beads that resist chipping.

Random tested for resistance to impact and thermal shock.

A great shape to hold your favourite cold beverage - lager, spritz, soft drinks, or a small wine.
