The glasses are mouth-blown, after which surfaces have been ground around the glass. This is also called "côtes Plates" sharpening.

The glasses are made in crystal, which gives them a purer and more beautiful shine and sound.
No glass is exactly the same size or weight.
The 6 glasses are in good condition, no chips or cracks.
Considering the age, some traces of use may be present, as well as imperfections such as glass threads and air bubbles are completely normal for glassware of more than 100 years.
