A solid vintage spirit glass by Crown Crystal Glass, one of Australia’s leading domestic glassmakers of the late twentieth century.

Produced during the period when the company’s Waterloo factory was supplying homes locally and internationally, this piece’s simple cylindrical form is anchored by a substantial weighted base that provides stability and a reassuring feel in hand. An indented band above the base offers grip and creates a clean visual separation between the solid foundation and the lighter upper body.

Sized for whisky, spirits, or short cocktails, it is a practical glass designed for regular use.

Each piece is *vintage (see Specifications) and may show light signs of age consistent with careful use. Minor casting lines, tone variation, or surface marks may be present as part of original production. Price is for 1 Tumbler. Limited quantities.

A dependable piece of Australian glassware with the weight and balance made for the modernist table.
