The colour is the thing: a deep peacock blue that shifts from translucent at the rim to near-opaque at the solid disk base, catching light differently depending on where you set them. The chunky, bottom-heavy profile was a deliberate design choice of the late 1960s, a pivot away from the delicate stemware of the previous decade toward something architectural and practically untippable on a crowded coffee table or patio setting. They were catalogued as wine goblets or port glasses, but their stout tulip shape makes them genuinely versatile — spirits on ice, a dessert liquéur, juice, or a fancy parfait all work equally well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA matching pair in cobalt is a rare find. Crown Crystal Glass Company of Waterloo, Sydney was Australia's foremost mid-century glassware manufacturer, and their jewel-toned pedestal lines remain among the most collectible of their output. These two are a natural together — a considered gift, a bar cart accent, or the beginning of a collection. Crown Crystal pedestal glasses 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. A cobalt alongside a charcoal or clear is a combination worth having.\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\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Regency Blue \/ Mondial Blue (cobalt\/peacock blue)\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 Matching pair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10cm per glass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOpening diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6cm per glass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 150g per glass\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.
