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.
This bubble stemmed short wine glass was designed between 1972 to 1978 in the glass factory on Bourke Street in Waterloo and is a great shape for sherry, wines and ports.
Fashioned with a simple cylindrical form in mind and designed with an intentionally weightier base, an indented band above the base gives comfort in the hand and provides visual separation of the solid base and hollow upper section.
