I purchased this boxed set of 6 goblets or stems at a moving sale. The middle aged lady that I purchased them from said that they had belonged to her father. I do not know how old they are. A little research tells me that they are probably from the Bohemian region of the Czech Republic. On the internet, I have read that the 500 PK design was invented by the famous glass cutter Ludvik Prostrednik (1897-1973) in the 1920's. I have not found another example of this set on the internet.

Another sticker reads, “Prostrednik. Made in Czech Republic.”. The third sticker reads, “Czech Republic 24% PbO”. The label on the box reads, “Prostrednik. Made in Czech Republic”. A stamp on the bottom of the box looks to me like an address. Above the probable address “Procrystal” can be read. You can see the stamp in one of my photos. Each goblet measures close to 7 1/8 inches high and weighs close to 7.4 ounces. They look to me like they are probably intended for champagne but it is easy to imagine drinking regular wine in them.
