A sophisticated set of eight vintage crystal cognac or brandy glasses by Nachtmann of Germany.
Each glass features a generously rounded balloon bowl, short delicate stem, and substantial circular foot, giving the set a clean, elegant profile with a distinctly late-20th-century European look. The design is minimalist rather than cut or engraved, allowing the quality and clarity of the crystal to take center stage.
Each glass is acid-etched “Nachtmann” on the foot, confirming the maker.
The proportions make these ideal for cognac, Armagnac, brandy, or other after-dinner spirits, while the simple silhouette also works beautifully in a contemporary bar or table setting.
