THE BIG ZAWIERCIE

Fine glassware has long been a symbol of prestige, luxury, and high society.  Most of us who own a Crystal glassware collection, never really get to put them to use because they are usually sealed off in the China cabinet. They are strictly for looks and what you can label as, " That's for Nice," meaning no one better touch them, nor even stare at them for too long.  Is it because they are valued as high-quality items, or that they can easily break, or is it just something about the sparkle and intricate design of hand-cut crystal that elevates every social gathering.  If diamonds are a girl's best friend, then Crystal Glassware is that special sibling that comes around when it is time for the entire family to gather. 

Crystal glass is a sturdy material that is harder to break than normal glass.  A high-quality set of crystal glassware can last for generations, and many actually do.  Crystal glassware has become gems in our societal circles and important events. 

There is a hypnotic, mesmerizing, undeniable beauty that intricately cut crystal resonates or better said, attracts.  I like to describe it as PURE ELEGANCE.  Whether you're entertaining guests or enjoying a   romantic after dinner drink, the artisanal handiwork of a fine crystal glass never fails to amaze.

Now let me introduce you to the Big Daddy, the Heavy weight champion, Kingpin of Godfathers, of all Crystal Glassware to ever set on a table.  The Zawiercie Crystal Champagne cooler.  This glamorous 1920s heavy hitter is pure crystal, with 24% lead, and a thickness and heavy weight to it that it could probably stop a bullet.   No, it is not bullet-proof, but let me tell you, it's that thick.  Which is what you want in a chiller, or ice cooler so that the thickness insulates the ice from the heat that might be going on all around it.   I dont know about your family gatherings or parties, but around here, it can get pretty steamy. 

This large Champagne Bucket from Zawiercie Crystal in the "Monica 4" pattern of fan and criss-cross cuts, with rolled glass handles, measures approximately 9.25 inches tall and with a 9 inch diameter.

This is a discontinued pattern that was produced in Poland, and was highly valued by the Tsars of Russia and the rulers of the  Hapsburg Empire, and has been known all over the world.  And now it is available for you to enjoy and pass down your family line.
