Did You Know?

The set this champagne glass is from is said to have been the most expensive one designed by Frederick Carder at Steuben Glass Works.

Description

This intricate champagne glass is part of a table setting created in 1928, likely for Lawrence P. Fisher (1888–1961), co-owner of the Fisher Body Company based in Detroit, Michigan. Fisher Body Company was an automobile and coach manufacturing business founded in 1908, and in 1921, opened a plant in Cleveland.
A cased lead glass champagne glass features a wide bowl with a vibrant magenta upper half. Elaborate floral motifs and a central shield are engraved through the color, exposing the clear glass underneath. The bowl transitions into a stem composed of two rounded bulbs above a flat, circular foot. A ring of delicate leaves circles the foot's edge, mirroring the intricate botanical patterns that wrap around the brilliant, jewel-toned cup.
