Set of 8, vintage F. SCHMIDT hand blown crystal GARDA Rose Swirl 6oz. footed Tumblers / Cocktail Glasses made by Theresienthal, Germany. These glasses have the same dark pink, ribbed swirl design and clear glass feet as the other glasses in the "Garda Rose Swirl" collection. (Other Tumblers in this collection are 8 and 10 oz. glasses, with the larger referred to as an Ice Tea glass.) F. Schmidt Company designed and patented the Garda patterns in the US and had the glasses made by Theresienthal in Germany and imported them to the US. Theresienthal, the famed Bavarian crystal glass manufacturer started in 1836, by request of King Ludwig I of Bavaria and used the already well known techniques and styles of the local Bohemian glassmakers of the time. Theresienthal became the producer of hand made crystal for the German, Russian and French courts and served luxury markets all around the world and still do today, using both in-house and outside designers to produce new collections. Each of these glasses measures 2 3/4" in diameter at the top rim and stand 4 5/8" high. Beautiful ring in the glass, nice proportions and elegant lines that Theresienthal objects are known for. In excellent condition. Photos show some small irregularities in the glass made during blowing process: a few small bubbles and irregularity on the rim of one glass which is smooth to the touch. A stunning set of glasses to toast a special occasion, host a special cocktail or set a colorful table!
