These six single-band tumblers — one thick base band of yellow sugar frosting, a few clean horizontal gold pin-stripes, clear glass above — are the minimalist counterpart to the fuller twin-band hostess sets of the same era. The sugar frosting is the same technique: a liquid glass frit slurry applied before firing, rough and tactile to the touch, catching the light like granulated sugar. The gold pin-stripes are fired-on liquid bright gold. The result is a glass that is quietly graphic and genuinely useful — equally at home on a breakfast table with orange juice, a summer sideboard with iced water, or a bar cart with something stronger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA complete set of six in matching condition is increasingly hard to find. Crown Crystal Glass Company of Waterloo, Sydney produced these through the late 1950s and into the 1960s to meet the enormous post-war demand for affordable, stylish home entertaining ware. They succeeded. These have lasted sixty years and still look the part.\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 Yellow Sugar Frost, single band, with fired-on gold pin-stripes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTechnique:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sugar frosting (glass frit slurry, low-temperature fired) and liquid bright gold gilding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e Circa late 1950s–1960s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Six matching single-band tumblers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11cm per glass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOpening diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7cm per glass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 51g 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.
