A SET OF TWELVE LOBMEYR "PATRICIAN" WATER GOBLET STEMWARE, JOSEF HOFFMAN, AUSTRIAN, DESIGNED 1917, blown molded muslin glass with clear flared bowls on thin stems. Height: 7 1/4" 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.

Two with tiny chips, four with acid etch circular mark, the remaining unmarked, and overall in good to very good condition, wear commensurate with age and use.
