Crystal Clear Industries Gold-Rimmed Wine Goblets

This set of three wine goblets features a classic, elegant silhouette manufactured by Crystal Clear Industries. Each glass is constructed from high-clarity lead-free or lead crystal, featuring a rounded balloon-style bowl that tapers slightly toward the rim. The defining aesthetic characteristic is the thin, hand-painted gold band encircling the top edge, adding a touch of Mid-Century Modern or traditional sophistication. The stems are intricately designed with a decorative sphere or 'knop' at the top, transitioning into a multi-faceted or molded pedestal that leads to a flat, stable circular base. The craftsmanship reflects typical late 20th-century mass-market luxury goods, likely dating from the 1980s or 1990s. Physically, the glass appears clear and free of major occlusions, though fine surface scratches or subtle gold loss at the rim would be expected for items of this age. The construction is uniform across all three pieces, suggesting a consistent production run. There are no visible chips or cracks in the provided image, though the brilliance of the glass suggests it has been well-maintained. Potential maker's marks from Crystal Clear Industries would likely be found on original gold foil stickers on the base, as permanent etching is less common for this specific manufacturer.
