A Collection of Commemorative and Gilt Decorated Glassware including 1981 Royal Wedding Goblet - This assortment of clear glassware is characterised by gilt painted rims and diverse decorative motifs. The group features a commemorative goblet produced for the 1981 Royal Wedding, which is etched with the inscription The Prince of Wales and Lady Diana Spencer 29th July 1981 flanking a central Prince of Wales feathers crest with the motto Ich Dien. A wide gilt band around the base of the bowl repeats the words Royal Wedding. The collection further includes a series of stemmed glasses with etched scrolling foliate and floral patterns on faceted hexagonal stems. Also present are handled cups decorated with a gilt bow and garland motif, a heavy glass tumbler with star-cut base and faceted fluting, and a footed bowl featuring hand-painted red berries and gilt sprigs. The style and construction suggest mid-to-late 20th century manufacture.
