Description
Elegant in form and refined in purpose, the Gourmet Port Wine Glass by Seneca Glass Company reflects the understated sophistication that defined American glassware in the mid-20th century. Crafted between 1971 and 1983, this 6-inch tall blown glass stem features a smooth, slender stem and a plain, tulip-shaped bowl—perfectly proportioned for savoring fortified wines with style and nuance.
Though information on Seneca’s Gourmet collection is limited, the glass itself speaks volumes. Known for their handcrafted lead crystal and attention to detail, Seneca was one of America’s most respected glassmakers, supplying fine stemware to U.S. embassies and even the White House. This port glass continues that legacy, offering timeless clarity, balance, and a subtle grace that suits both formal settings and relaxed entertaining.
With its clean lines and delicate craftsmanship, the Gourmet port glass captures the shift in 1970s dining culture toward elegant yet unfussy stemware—an ideal piece for collectors of American crystal and enthusiasts of classic entertaining.
