About this item -Vintage Riekes Crisa Crystal Bowl Set - Hand Formed MCM
Rare - I have 3 sets available for individual purchase at time of listing! You may never find these again.
Add a touch of Mid-Century Modern elegance to your table with this beautiful vintage set of Riekes Crisa crystal bowls. These \"Cristal formé à la main\" (hand-formed) bowls feature the clean, minimalist lines characteristic of the 1970s \"Moderno\" style.
A Legacy of Glassware Excellence
This set represents a historic mid-century collaboration between two glass giants: Riekes, a prominent American distributor based in Omaha, Nebraska, and Crisa (now part of Libbey), Mexico’s premier glass manufacturer.
Established in the mid-20th century, the Riekes Crisa brand became synonymous with high-quality, artisan-inspired glassware that brought sophisticated European and Mexican aesthetics to the American home. This partnership was celebrated for combining industrial scale with \"formé à la main\" (hand-formed) techniques, ensuring each piece had the weight and clarity of fine crystal while remaining functional for everyday luxury.
