This item is a pair of frosted, footed glass goblets decorated with an organic, marbled pattern.
The shape of the glasses is a standard short-stemmed wine or water goblets with a rounded, wide bowl and a circular base. The finish is translucent, frosted glass that gives both pieces a matte texture. The patterns on the glasses are multi-coloured, abstract swirls that resemble fluid acrylic art or natural stone veins. The colours are soft pastel tones including cream-yellow, light pink and pale lavender, accented with darker navy or grey speckles.
The key differences between the two glasses are:
· Left Glass: Features a more prominent white-frosted base and stem, with heavier speckled detailing concentrated on the lower half of the bowl.
· Right Glass: Displays a noticeable pink tint running through the entire piece, including the stem and base, with larger, fluid yellow pooling shapes on the bowl.
These distinct pastel goblets are vintage Rueven Glass (often labelled as Rueven by Nouveau Art Glass). This style of glassware was hand-stained and decorated in the West Bank city of Al-Khalil, commonly known as Hebron. These items are often referred to as Hebron style or Phoenician style art glass. Artisans hand-paint and permanently stain the outer layer of the sandblasted frosted crystal to give it a signature watercolour or "drip glaze" look. Because of their cultural heritage, these goblets are highly popular in Judaica collections as traditional Kiddush cups used during Shabbat or holiday meals.
The pair is in pristine condition with no damages noted.
