Stunning and quite rare vintage Set of 13 Hawkes hand cut crystal wine/dessert wine glasses in the St. George pattern measuring 4 7/8" tall with a base of 2" and 2 1/4" across at the top. Each glass is individually signed. They feature a square base with a graduated three section turned stem and vertical oval facets in the body of the glass. Hawkes made three versions of the St. George pattern and this is by far the scarcest of them and the only one with the graduated stem and square base. Exceptional condition with no nicks, dings, chips, fleabites, clouding or discoloration. A beautiful set that will make a fine addition to any collection! We are selling several other lots in this same pattern. Please check our other listings. About Hawkes Thomas G. Hawkes & Company
