Lindemans Kriek Merchant du Vin Footed Beer Glass

This is a tall, slender, footed flute-style glass specifically designed for serving Lindemans Kriek cherry lambic beer. The item displays a tapered, conical body that widens slightly towards the gold-trimmed rim, resting on a short, sturdy stem and a flat circular base. The primary material is clear pressed glass. The front features multi-colored screen-printed graphics including the Lindemans 'L' crest, the 'Kriek' designation flanked by cherry illustrations, and the 'Merchant du Vin' importer branding. Additional Art Nouveau-style swirling lines in gold and red accent the central logo. The rim is decorated with a thin band of metallic gold leafing. In terms of condition, the glass appears to be in good vintage condition; however, there is visible thinning or wear to the gold gilding on the rim, which is common with frequent use or hand-washing. The screen printing on the body remains vibrant with no major chips or fading visible in the provided image. This style of glassware was popularized in the late 20th century as part of the specialty Belgian beer marketing movement overseen by importers like Merchant du Vin. The craftsmanship is functional for commercial use but elevated by the decorative branding elements and the specialized silhouette tailored to the beverage's carbonation and aroma profile.
