a rich canon of graphic markings defines the elements series of lead crystal. Cuts and textures of varying depth and intensity are employed across glasses to create a landscape of layered pattern that is fresh and seductive; a whole new take on the decoration of cut crystal. The beauty of the elements series is that each glass is a desirable object but combined, the mixture of designs becomes a very individual collection. Scholten & baijings have acted like a conductor, building up layers of pattern as though they were sound, and the result is a visual symphony.
each glass in j. Hill’s standard elements series has a different design, freeing you to create collections that are matching or mixed, restrained or exuberant. The glass sizes suit a multitude of uses, and an elegant carafe and jug complete the series. The collection includes wine glasses, hi-balls, whiskey tumblers, short glasses, champagne and cocktails glasses, and a decanter and jug. This is the champagne glass in cut number one of six.
