They were produced in the years 1930=1967. The bowl is characterized by a thick rim or running encrusted fold roses, a clear, and then a thin gold border at top. The majority of the bowl features vertical optic panels. The stems demonstrate the hand blown nature of the piece and the foot is clear with the exception of a gold band of medium thin width at the edge. The gold here is in exceptional although ( not unusually) not perfect condition. Fewer Champagne glasses in this pattern were made than were made of the many other forms. They are therefore quite rare.
