Franklin Mint Ruby Red Cased Crystal Wine Goblets, Set of Two

This is a pair of vintage ruby red to clear cased crystal wine goblets, identified as part of a collection produced for Franklin Mint (often associated with Franklin Porcelain for branding purposes in the late 20th century). Each vessel features a deep scarlet or ruby red bowl that has been cut through to the clear crystal underneath to reveal a 'criss-cross' or diamond-cut pattern transitioning into arched lancet cuts at the base of the bowl. The bowls are cylindrical in shape with flat bottoms, supported by tall, slender clear glass stems and simple circular bases. The craftsmanship suggests a high lead content common in fine crystal, resulting in sharp, light-refracting edges on the cut portions. These pieces typically date from the late 1970s to the 1980s. Physically, the items appear to be in excellent condition with no visible chips, clouding, or cracks, maintaining a high level of brilliance and clarity in both the colored and clear sections. There are no obvious maker's marks visible on the bases in this view, which is typical for these produced series, though they often originally carried stickers or acid-etched marks on the underside of the foot.
