These four tumblers carry the same hand-guided grapevine etching as the blue Grapevine set: each glass pressed by hand against a rapidly spinning copper grinding wheel, the artisan cutting trailing vine branches, stylised leaves, and full grape clusters into the pink surface. No two glasses have identical leaf angles. The frosted etching against the translucent salmon pink has a depth and warmth that a printed pattern simply cannot achieve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese four are part of what was originally a large mixed-colour harlequin party set — the Rosalin and the aqua blue Grapevine tumblers share the same pattern and dimensions, and collectors who find both colours love mixing them on open kitchen shelving or a bar cart. If you already have the blue set, these are the natural companion. Crown Crystal Glass Company of Waterloo, Sydney produced both colourways through the 1950s and into the 1960s, and hand-etched Rosalin glass in this condition is increasingly hard to find. 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 Grapevine \u0026amp; Foliage (wheel-etched)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rosalin \/ Rosaline (translucent salmon pink)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e Circa 1950s–1960s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Four tumblers\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 Approximately 6.5cm per glass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTotal weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 466g (set of four)\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.
