Set of 6 "Zlatá Zuzana" champagne glasses in Bohemian crystal from the mid-20th century.

Enhance your barware collection with this iconic set of six champagne coupes, a masterpiece of Czechoslovak glassmaking. Designed in 1954 by Jozef Staník for the Poltár glassworks (Katarínska Huta), this world-renowned series is titled "Zlatá Zuzana" (Golden Susan). These exquisite glasses feature a sophisticated smoky grey ("dymová") hue, complemented by a hand-painted gold rim. The main highlight is the three-dimensional gold orb embedded in the stem, a technical marvel of mid-century glassblowing. The "royal" connection: The "Zlatá Zuzana" collection has gained international acclaim for its elegance and unmatched craftsmanship.
