Description
The glasses have facetted legs and lower parts of the bowl. Kosta started to make lead crystal in 1905. New designs adapted to the new material were found in Belgium, which was famous for its technically unsurpassed quality. Instead of the classic English cut and polish, broad facets were used for a simpler feel. One example of such a service is “Lalin”, that was originally made at Kosta in 1906.
