Lobmeyr

Rothschild Stars Hand-Engraved Crystal Tumbler

$480
In 1856, Baron Alfons Rothschild placed his first order from the Rothschild series. The collection is one of approximately 100 designed by Ludwig Lobmeyr, making each piece a true collectible. Its simplicity and functionality have led museum collections and publications to pinpoint it as the ‘origin of the modern wine glass’ – an accolade attributed to the crystal-clear muslin glass that Lobmeyr is renowned for. Today, the maker honours history by continuing to engrave each star by hand at its workshop in Vienna.
