Designed in 1928 by goldsmith and designer Jan Eisenloeffel (1876-1957). He was asked by the Kristalunie - Maastricht to design a glass service which could bear his name. They have become the most highly treasured examples of Dutch crystal glass from the Art-Deco period. Each one was made by a master craftsman, and hand-cut to a standard which is no longer possible. The cut glasses have a chalice with twelve wide facets and below that three rows with cut pyramids at the top of the stem, which shine like diamonds in the light.
Johannes Wigboldus (Jan) Eisenloeffel (Amsterdam, 10 January 1876 – Amsterdam, 17 September 1957) was a Dutch goldsmith, interior designer, jewellery designer, draughtsman, enameller, silversmith, ceramist, Academy director, glass artist, ceramic designer and bookbinding designer.
