European Antique | Thick and Refined Small Glass (7cm Tall) - An Old Everyday Utensil in Good Condition

A small glass that fits in the palm of your hand.
No chips, no distortions, just the quietly preserved "excellent craftsmanship for its time."
A forgotten fragment of time now quietly breathes again.

Product Description:
This is an antique glass that was used daily in Europe in the early 20th century. Approximately 7cm tall, it maintains an elegant balance despite its thick construction, and is in exceptionally good condition for a glass product of its era. What is particularly noteworthy is the absence of damage to the rim. While many antique glasses show chips or roughness around the mouth, this particular piece is comparatively cleanly formed. This can be seen as a testament to the high quality of manufacturing at the time. Furthermore, the cloudiness visible on the exterior is likely due to dirt from aging, and its beauty may be further enhanced with light cleaning. (R070145)

Special Notes:
In European glass manufacturing (especially from the late 19th to early 20th century), "free-blown" techniques, where artisans shaped glass by hand without molds, and "mold-blown" techniques, where glass was blown into metal or wooden molds, were used. Free-blown methods inevitably led to greater variations in products. However, unlike today, the emphasis in everyday items at the time was on the warmth of handcrafted work and practicality rather than perfect uniformity. There was likely a culture that accepted individual differences in products as "personality" or "artisan's touch." Especially for household and commercial use (restaurants, churches, etc.), durability and cost were prioritized over fine finishing. In other words, "some variation was natural."
