Edinburgh Crystal 'Star of Edinburgh' Small Goblet/Wine Glass

This is a classic small goblet or wine glass produced by Edinburgh Crystal, specifically featuring the iconic 'Star of Edinburgh' cut pattern. The item is crafted from high-quality lead crystal, known for its exceptional clarity and heavy, substantial feel. The design features a bowl with deep, vertical wedge cuts that taper into sharp points, accented by smaller thumbprint or 'lens' cuts near the base of the bowl, creating a shimmering light-refraction effect typical of hand-cut crystal. The stem is faceted and multi-sided, providing both aesthetic appeal and a secure grip, leading down to a simple, plain circular foot. The glass appears to be in excellent vintage condition with no visible chips, cracks, or clouding (sickness) throughout the body. The edges of the cuts remain crisp and well-defined, indicating minimal wear from handling or washing. Based on the pattern and construction, this piece likely dates from the mid-to-late 20th century (circa 1960s-1980s). While no maker's mark is visible in the photograph, Edinburgh Crystal pieces from this era were frequently etched with an acid-stamped 'Edinburgh' signature on the underside of the base. The weight and refractive fire of the glass serve as indicators of premium craftsmanship from the Scottish glassmaking tradition.
