Goebel Annual Crystal Glass Easter Egg, First Edition (1979)

Red K Products presents: Goebel Annual Crystal Glass Easter Egg (First Edition 1979) - A Masterpiece of German Glass!

Celebrate a century of craftsmanship with this exquisite First Edition Annual Crystal Glass Easter Egg from the renowned W. Goebel Porzellanfabrik. Produced in 1979 to mark the 100th anniversary of Goebel’s first porcelain kiln, this piece is a stunning departure from the company’s traditional hand-painted figures. Created in collaboration with the historic Charlottenhütte glassworks, this heavy lead crystal egg embodies the "ice glass" aesthetic that defined 1970s German design. The frosted, satin finish invites you to touch the embossed floral and scroll motifs, while the "1979" date is proudly displayed in a central cartouche. This is more than just a seasonal decoration; it is a piece of West German history that sits at the unique intersection of mass-market collectibles and Brutalist art glass.

Perfect for:

• Goebel and Hummel collectors seeking to complete their vintage annual series.
• Enthusiasts of Mid-Century Modern and 1970s "Ice Glass" or "Bark Glass" design.
• Anyone looking for a sophisticated, light-refracting display piece for Easter.
• Admirers of authentic West German manufacturing history.

Condition: This vintage collectible is in excellent condition. The crystal egg itself is pristine, retaining its original frosted finish with no visible chips, cracks, or scratches, and still bears its original blue and silver foil sticker. The original teal and gold box is present and structurally sound, though it exhibits the honest patina of age with visible scuffing and color loss along the edges and corners. This "shelf wear" attests to its journey through the decades while having successfully protected the crystal treasure inside.

Here's the list of contents:

• Original Goebel Charlottenhütte Box: The distinctive teal two-piece box with gold lettering, marking the item as the "First Edition 1979."
• 1979 First Edition Crystal Egg: A heavy, pressed lead crystal egg with a satin finish, embossed details, and the original manufacturer's sticker.
