Description: Rare set of 12 bar glasses made by Podebrady Glassworks of Czechoslovakia, a Bohemia-based company that specialized in hand-cut lead crystal in the midcentury modern style. This company operated only from 1950-1965 so it is easy to date these to that period. These come in their original 2 brown corrugated boxes (6 in each box) and were wrapped in brown paper and unused, with their stickers still attached. I actually don't know what specific type of glasses these are..the closest I could come up with are rocks glasses or maybe large shot glasses; they look to hold about 3-4 ozs of liquor. They measure 2 3/4" tall and 2 1/2" in diameter and are straight-sided. They have a geometric pattern with a cut octagon shape all around the body, surrounded by a diamond-cut grid pattern, and also have a heavy base with vertical lines and a starburst pattern on the bottom. They each have a sticker which says either "Podebrady" or "Lead Crystal Bohemia Made in Czechoslovakia." These glasses are very dusty because they were never removed from their boxes and sat in a basement, and I did not want to clean them and remove the stickers. There isn't a lot of Podebrady Glass out there because the company existed for such a short period of time, and the fact that these were never used makes them even more special. And they are super attractive to boot, and would look great in a vintage MCM barware collection!
