Mid-to-Late 20th Century Cut Crystal Roly-Poly Tumbler or Votive

Story

Mid-century mixology embraced playful roly-poly glassware designed to tilt and swirl spirits without spilling. This piece elevates that casual silhouette with high-refraction lead crystal and traditional wheel-cut eight-point stars.

Maker / Origin

While reminiscent of makers such as Webb Corbett, Edinburgh Crystal, or vintage Gorham/Rogaska lines, many European glasshouses produced starburst-cut crystal barware during the post-war entertaining boom. These pieces were often sold in boxed cocktail sets through fine department stores.

Condition & Value

Appears in very good condition with no obvious chips, cracks, or severe clouding visible. Preserving sharp cut edges without flea bites maintains peak value. Individual cut crystal roly-poly tumblers and votives typically sell between $15 and $40, while full sets of four or six in good condition can achieve $60 to $150 depending on maker attribution.
