George Borgfeldt Lisa Cranberry Coupes, Optic Bowl - Set of 2

Glassware Worthy of Cocktails on Sunset Boulevard

A pair of George Borgfeldt Lisa Cranberry coupes in rosy pink, each with a bowl set upon an elegant clear twist stem. The bowl design features optic glass, a type of panel or facet around the bowl. This discontinued mid-century pattern dates to circa 1958, and the coupe form is a classic for drinks ranging from fancy Martinis to bubbly champagne. Blown (handmade) glass construction keeps them light in the hand and perfect for a home bar that leans glamorous.

  About the Maker
  
  George Borgfeldt & Co., founded in New York in 1881, operated as a prominent importer and distributor of European decorative goods for the American market. Rather than manufacturing glass themselves, the firm curated stylish continental designs and supplied them through mid-century department-store giftware channels and bridal registries. Borgfeldt stemware occupied an appealing middle ground—more refined than everyday domestic glass, yet accessible to the aspirational home entertainer seeking European elegance. Patterns like Lisa, with their graceful twist stems and softly colored bowls, reflect the optimistic glamour of postwar entertaining and the rise of the well-appointed home bar. Today, surviving examples capture that moment of attainable sophistication, when a beautiful glass helped turn an ordinary evening into an occasion.
