Thank you for visiting Rick's Krazy Collectibles! Selling on eBay since 1996! Please make sure to visit my eBay store for more great items. Happy Bidding! The bid is for all 4 of these heavy and distinctively colored blown-glass goblets. All 4 are signed and dated "Mdina 1978."

Each goblet stands 6 1/4" - 6 1/2" - The height of the pieces varies slightly as would be expected with hand-blown glass. The colors of the goblets vary. Three are predominantly greenish. One is more blue. All have varying degrees of white, brown, grey or yellowish streaks and such running through them. I am selling the goblets as a set of 4, even though each is uniquely different from the others. The goblets are in excellent condition! One of the goblets has a very minor edge flaw on the base that looks read more
