A solid vintage highball by Crown Crystal Glass, one of Australia’s most respected domestic glassmakers of the late twentieth century. Produced during the 1970s at the Bourke Street, Waterloo factory, this piece reflects the period’s emphasis on durability, clarity, and everyday function.

The clean cylindrical form is paired with a substantial weighted base that gives stability, balance, and a satisfying feel in hand. An indented band above the base creates visual separation between the solid foundation and the lighter upper body.

Ideal for water, long drinks, cocktails, or beer, this is a versatile everyday glass designed for regular use.

Each piece is *vintage (see Specifications) and may show light signs of age consistent with careful use. Subtle casting lines, tone variation, or minor surface marks may be present as part of original production.

A dependable piece of Australian glassware, made for daily use and lasting weight in the hand.
