Wine Goblets

     Our replicas of historical glassware are brought to life using authentic medieval techniques. This dedicated hand-blown process ensures that every piece carries the soul of the past; the tiny bubbles and slight irregularities inherent in Forest Glass lend these goblets their unmistakable antique charm. A hallmark of these historical replicas is the pontil mark on the base. A signature trace left where the vessel was separated from the glassmaker's tool.

     The distinctive decorations, such as 'raspberries' (prunts), pinched trails and pulled drops, were far more than mere ornaments. They served a vital practical purpose in an era when dining was a hands-on affair, the textured surface provided a secure grip, ensuring the glass would not slip even during a feast.

     Our collection also pays tribute to the rare cobalt blue glass, originally colored using byproducts from local silver mines. While blue glass first appeared only as a decorative accent on green vessels, it became a celebrated craft in its own right by the mid-16th century. Later, influenced by the master glassmakers of Venice, we also see the introduction of vibrant red glass, initially used to adorn elegant clear glassware.
