2x Superfest GDR Champagne Glasses 170ml Mitropa Tough German Soviet Glassware For Sale

Superfest is the legendary East German glassware developed in the 1970s and produced by VEB Sachsenglas Schwepnitz through the 1980's. Made from chemically strengthened glass, Superfest was designed for exceptional durability and resistance to breakage, making it especially popular in restaurants, bars, and public institutions throughout the former GDR. Production ended after German reunification, and surviving examples are now increasingly sought after by collectors for their distinctive minimalist design, Cold War history, and remarkable strength, being between 5x and 15x stronger than untreated glass.

This purchase includes two glasses similar to those shown. These are the champagne glasses, a less plentiful variety. They have the trademark thin rim and walls of Superfest and are about 5.75 inches tall. My assessment is these are "A" grade. There are a few scratches and scuffs but nothing large, and definitely no cracks or chips. This variety of glass seems especially prone to bubbles so many if not most will have a few bubbles in the glass. Please examine the photos carefully for an example of what your glasses will look like.
