Edinburgh Crystal Star of Edinburgh Wine Goblet

This is a fine quality lead crystal wine goblet manufactured by Edinburgh Crystal in the 'Star of Edinburgh' pattern. The vessel features a tall, slightly flared tulip-shaped bowl adorned with vertical flute cuts around the upper half which transition into a complex diamond and star-cut motif at the base of the bowl. The crystal exhibits high clarity and a brilliant light refraction characteristic of premium leaded glass. The piece consists of a multi-faceted ornate stem with a decorative knop, supporting a circular, flat base. The construction shows high-level craftsmanship with crisp, deep incisions and a polished finish. The condition appears excellent with no visible chips, cracks, or clouding. This pattern, a hallmark of Scottish glassmaking, was highly popular throughout the mid-to-late 20th century. The weight and balance suggest a high lead content, which provides the distinctive 'ring' when tapped. This specific stemware style is typically used for serving white or red wine and is considered a classic of British tableware design.
