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. Its prestige was cemented when a set was chosen as an official gift for Princess Diana during a state visit to former Czechoslovakia (CSSR), making it a true collector's item with a touch of royal history. Excellent vintage condition. The crystal remains clear and the gold accents are well-preserved, showing only minor signs of age consistent with their history. Dimensions: Height: approximately 14 cm. Diameter: approximately 10.5 cm. Origin: Czechoslovakia. Period: 1960s. MATERIAL: Hand-blown Bohemian crystal, 24k gold accents.
