Small in stature, rich in detail — these footed cocktail glasses pair blown optic glass with hand-cut and etched floral motifs that catch light with every turn.
Condition: Very good — one glass has a small chip on the foot, photographed; no other issues. Please review photos closely before purchasing, as all sales are final.
The optic glass technique creates a subtle, luminous texture in the bowl that gives depth and movement to an otherwise simple silhouette. We believe these were made by Rock Sharpe, a glassmaker celebrated for exactly this combination of delicate floral cuts and optic glass construction.
Versatile by nature — the size and shape make them equally suited as sherry glasses, short claret wine glasses, juice glasses, or dessert parfaits. A set of four glasses that bring a genuine touch of elegance to any gathering, formal or casual.
Rock Sharpe was known among mid-century American glassmakers for combining hand-cut and etched floral work with optic glass techniques, a labor-intensive pairing that produced pieces with both decorative detail and textural depth.
