Crown Crystal's Mondial stepped-ring profile gave the user's fingers a natural grip when the glass was wet with ice condensation, and the interior base diameter was precisely matched to the outer ring so the glasses could be stacked two-high in a mid-century kitchen cupboard without jamming or scratching. It is the kind of considered industrial design that rarely survives into the modern era, and it is one of the reasons these sets have lasted. The emerald green is the other reason: translucent at the flared upper walls, deepening to an intense saturation where the light hits the thick concentric base rings. On a bar cart with a negroni or an amaro over ice, they are immediately arresting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA complete set of six in this colourway and condition is a genuine find. Crown Crystal Glass Company of Waterloo, Sydney produced the Mondial line through the late 1960s and into the 1970s, and matching sets of six in vibrant pastel shades move quickly on the Australian market — they are functional for hosting, beautiful on a shelf, and increasingly hard to replace. Crown Crystal tumblers were made in their millions — if one ever meets an untimely end, another will find its way to you. That's the beauty of collecting vintage: replacements exist, and they don't have to match perfectly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Crown Crystal Glass Company, Waterloo, Sydney, Australia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mondial stepped concentric ring pedestal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Translucent emerald \/ mint green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e Circa late 1960s–1970s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Six glasses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.5cm per glass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOpening diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.5cm per glass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTotal weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 620g (set of six)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Australia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExcellent vintage condition.
