Description
Exquisite Rogaska crystal goblet in the 'Gallia' pattern. Features a deeply cut cross-hatch/diamond design on the bowl with a faceted stem. The base is acid-etched with the cursive Rogaska maker's mark. Stands approximately 8.5 to 9 inches tall (depending on specific glass type). Known for its brilliant light refraction and substantial hand-feel.
Key Features
Hand-crafted in Slovenia; high-quality lead crystal; iconic 'Rogaska' etched signature; highly collectible 'Gallia' pattern; excellent bell-like ring when tapped.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The acid-etched 'Rogaska' script on the base is the definitive hallmark. The sharpness of the cuts and the weight are consistent with authentic Slovenian production.
Flaws to Note
A significant 1.5 to 2-inch scratch is visible on the underside of the foot extending toward the edge. There is also some sticker residue or hard water spotting on the base that needs cleaning.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the primary choice for reaching buyers looking for specific replacement stems. Etsy is a secondary option for vintage crystal collectors. Facebook Marketplace for local sales to avoid shipping risks.
Selling Tips
Clean the glass thoroughly using a 50/50 vinegar and water solution to remove the residue on the base before photographing. In the listing, macro-photograph the scratch on the base to avoid 'item not as described' returns. Use keywords like 'Replacement Crystal', 'Slovenia', 'Cut Lead Crystal', and 'Gallia Pattern'.
