In 1859 a German immigrant named Charles Reizenstein opened the C. Reizenstein China & Crystal Company in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In the late 1890s the company name changed to Reizart Crystal when Charles’ son Louis took over after his father’s death. Their most popular pieces began to emerge in the 1940s and 50s as they embraced early mid century modern designs, but economic difficulties eventually led to the company being acquired by Gorham Silver, who marketed the pieces as Gorham/Reizart into the late 60s before discontinuing the line altogether. Because they were not considered as collectible until the middle of the 20th Century, fewer original pieces prior to the 1930s survive and are highly sought by collectors in addition to the chic and sleek designs that emerged in their waning years.
Condition
Chips to the edge of one foot. Overall very good condition.
