These Crystal Balloon Goblets are in our Milano Crystal Stemware collection which features a cobalt blue line swirl pattern on the glass. The goblet is then all hand-painted with red and blue paint and topped off with real 24k gold painted accents giving it a unique stained glass appearance. This particular collection is without a doubt one of our most popular. It is hand blown glass manufactured with the finest lead free crystal glass and imported from Romania.

The Milano Collection, our bestseller, provokes the mind and stimulates the eyes with its unpredictable swirl design, and "stained glass" like finish. To apply the intricate cobalt glass pattern, one craftsman rotates the blob of glass on its axis while another dabs a rod into molten cobalt and spins a thin strand of the material onto the lower portion of the piece. The piece is then blown to the proper thickness and shape by mouth. After it is cooled, another craftsman paints the vivid colors within the pattern using 3 different colored luster, red, blue, yellow and 24k gold accents. The piece is then fired one more time to ensure that the color will last a long, long time. This creative process is time consuming and very demanding. All this to produce a unique work of art for your pleasure. Because of the hand decorated process, no two glasses have exactly the same pattern. The Milano Collection includes many pieces like, Drink Glasses, Decanters, Pitchers, Bowls, Candle Holders, Vases and Wind Lamps. Milano is our largest and most popular collection so have a look around and I am sure that you will find why it is our best seller.
