European Antique Handmade Glass Cup (Bubbled, Rustic Charm)

Faint distortions and delicate bubbles,
A serene glass that feels the touch of time.

Product Description:
This glass cup, though compact at approximately 7cm in height, is an impressive European antique glass with a notable presence when held. It is presumed to have been made for household use, mainly in Eastern to Central Europe, from the early to mid-20th century. The molding appears to be pressed glass or mold-blown glass, and the surface shows small bubbles and flow patterns, making each piece unique with distinct individual differences, showcasing a handcrafted feel. There are no markings on the bottom, and its rustic construction, with occasional bubbles and glass undulations, gives it a seasoned charm. There are no cracks or large chips, and it is in good antique condition. (R070148)

Special Notes:
Hot liquids are generally not placed in such old glass vessels. Considering both the cultural background and the nature of the material, it is natural to assume that they were made exclusively for cold beverages. In Europe, "hot beverage containers" typically have handles. Hot drinks such as tea, coffee, and hot chocolate held a special place in Europe from the 18th century onwards. Therefore, intricately decorated ceramic and porcelain cups evolved, many with handles. Even in the case of glass, heat-resistant glass or double-walled structures came much later (late 20th century).
