Because these are hand blown and handmaid, one wine goblet is slightly taller than the other. (see last picture). 9" & 8 3/4" tall Carl Radke is an extremely talented glass artist who is highly respected within the art glass community. Lustre art glass is a style of glass that was originally created by Louis Tiffany in the late 1800's. By the mid 1920's it had fallen out of style and very nearly became a lost art. Lustre glass is an extremely difficult medium to work with greatly owing to the fact that the raw glass can be maintained in the oven for only a brief time before it begins to degenerate. There is also the fact that it is very expensive to work with due to the high silver content of the glass. Thus, a failed project can be quite costly, to say the very least. However, Carl took up the challenge, succeeded tremendously, & is now one of only a small handful of glassblowers that can successfully create beautiful silver lustre art glass creations. His works have consisted of vases, urns & perfume bottles as well as paperweights, wine glasses, lamps & lamp shades. Different light, different colors.
