AN ASSEMBLED SET OF SIXTEEN LOBMEYER "PATRICIAN" CHAMPAGNE FLUTE STEMWARES, JOSEF HOFFMAN, AUSTRIAN, DESIGNED 1917, blown molded muslin glass with clear flared bowls on thin stems. Height: 7" Note: The Patrician pattern is referred to as muslin (after the fabric) crystal. Each piece is mouth-blown into wood molds. It is a belief that the thinner the crystal the less distracting from the wine being served. Very few crystal houses make this type of crystal. It is almost a lost art due to the time involved. Most Austrian Embassies use Lobmeyr for their formal dinners and functions.

Unmarked, some with chips, slightly varying in height, but overall in good condition, wear commensurate with age. Simpson Galleries strongly encourages in-person inspection of items by the bidder.
