This set of six does. The flûte à bière (beer flute) is a classic French bistro silhouette, and these are uranium glass, the kind that look almost a very light gray color in daylight and lights up like a highlighter under UV. They were likely produced in France between roughly 1880 and 1910, consistent with the Belle Epoque period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe construction tells a great story. Each glass was mouth blown, with small bubbles still visible in the body, and finished with a polished pontil mark on the underside of the foot. This means that they were made for a higher-end establishment rather than just the bar down the street.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hand cut wheat sheaf decoration runs across the lower half of the bowl, with long elliptical cuts making up the stalks and small oval cuts banding the base. Wheat being the symbolic ingredient of beer, the motif belongs on these glasses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese vintage French uranium glass beer flutes have a presence on the table that modern stemware does not come close to. Pour something cold and golden, set them out before guests arrive, and the tenor of the room shifts a little. Under a black light at a dinner party, they will absolutely steal the show. A complete set of six matched uranium (auraline) glass bistro stemware pieces of this age is an amazing addition to your collection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Provence Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52828100559191,"sku":"BAR-004","price":875.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/4686\/4215\/files\/belle-epoque-french-crystal-champagne-stemware-wheat-pattern_1.jpg?v=1775143679","url":"https:\/\/theprovencecollection.com\/products\/set-of-six-antique-french-cut-crystal-beer-flutes-auraline-uranium-glass-circa-1900","provider":"The Provence Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
