Edinburgh Crystal 'Star of Edinburgh' Sherry Glass Set

This is a set of six high-quality cut lead crystal glasses, specifically identified as the 'Star of Edinburgh' pattern by Edinburgh Crystal. Each glass features a classic tulip-shaped bowl adorned with a intricate combination of diamond and wedge cuts that create a brilliant light-refracting effect. The stem is multi-faceted with a central hexagonal knop, leading down to a star-cut circular base, which is a hallmark of premium traditional glassware. The material is clear, heavy lead crystal with a high refractive index. The set is presented in its original retail presentation box, which features a vibrant red satin-lined interior designed to protect and display the glasses. These items likely date from the mid to late 20th century, a period when Edinburgh Crystal was renowned for its Scottish craftsmanship. The physical condition appears excellent with no visible chips or cracks on the exposed glass, and the presence of the original box significantly enhances its value as a complete set. The craftsmanship is evidenced by the precision of the hand-cut facets and the clarity of the crystal glass.
