Diamond and stripe cuts run across the bowl of each glass, paired with a squared stem and a beveled square base — a fully geometric silhouette from bowl to foot. The mold seam does not run to the top edge, a technical detail consistent with 1940s–1950s production.
A wonderful set for a serious barware collector, an Art Deco enthusiast, a maximalist entertainer, or anyone who wants a set of champagne coupes that nobody else at the table will ever have seen before. For the bar: a wide, elegant bowl for champagne and classic cocktails served up, with the stem keeping your hand off the chill. For the table: graceful presentations, equally lovely for a sorbet course or a small chilled dessert.
Saben Glass Co. operated out of New York and made at least two patterns — Contessa and Scanda — in the 1940s. They filed a trademark for "Royal Family" in 1949 covering sterling silverware, coasters, and drinking glasses, and another for silverplated wares in 1951. By 1957 two of their trademarks had been canceled — almost nothing else is known, which means what you're holding is a genuinely scarce set from a maker who left very little behind.
