This strikingly elegant crystal champagne glass is highlighted by its slender clear stem ribboned in cobalt blue, bringing it together with its equally elegant wine glass accompaniment.

The stunning detail of bold cobalt is captured entirely within the stem. Touch it, run your fingers over the smooth stem and marvel at how any process, particularly a hand-made work, could achieve such perfection.

But then, Czech glass artisans have been working to do what is apparently impossible for over five hundred years.
