Pair of Villeroy & Boch 'NewWave' Old Fashioned Tumblers

This is a pair of contemporary Old Fashioned or rocks-style drinking glasses, highly characteristic of the 'NewWave' collection by Villeroy & Boch. The glasses are crafted from high-quality lead-free crystal glass, featuring a conical shape that tapers from a wide rim to a smaller, weighted base. A signature design element is the large, single controlled bubble (bullicante) suspended within the thick solid glass sham at the base, which adds a decorative modern touch and provides significant stability. The crystal is clear with high transparency and brilliance, lacking any yellow or grey tints often found in lower-quality glass. Geometrically, the walls are thin toward the rim but thicken substantially toward the bottom. No visible maker's marks or signatures are apparent in the image, which is common for this line, as they often used stickers. The condition appears excellent with no visible chips, cracks, or clouding from dishwasher use. There are minor superficial scratches on the wooden table surface beneath them, but the glass itself displays a high level of craftsmanship with fire-polished rims and a smooth, seamless finish. These represent a mid-to-late 20th-century or early 21st-century modern minimalist aesthetic.
