This absolutely beautiful 7" high crystal water pitcher exemplifies the quality and beauty of Ebling and Reuss's finest crystal pattern "Embassy". You can see by the clarity and brightness that it is top quality. Though the rest of collection is equally as beautiful, I started off with the photograph of the pitcher because it captured that beauty better than my photos of some of the collection. What I wasn't able to capture was the fire from many of the individual facts of the deep cut diamond pattern. In real life their glitter and fire is often quite unreal and breath-taking but it seems to be something my digital camera couldn't capture. I have only 1 pitcher.

The goblet shape comes in 7&1/2" water, 6&1/2" wine and 5" claret sizes. I have 15 water, 15 wine and 17 clarets. I have to emphasize here that the entire Embassy diamond and other patterns are hand cut, deep and sharp, but as with all handwork, the pattern and fire polishing differ from piece to piece. Some pieces are sharper than others.

There are 4 of these stunning heavy 5" ashtrays. They are so beautiful on their own they could also be used for a paperweight on a nice desk or to float a blossom — or a candle?

The 17 shortest champagne stem saucers are 4" high and 3&1/2" across while the 14 larger ones are 5" tall and 4" across. I found these two sizes very handy for serving a variety of things that I couldn't figure what else to serve them in. Very rich deserts in the smaller ones — or a candy.

This sharp cut diamond pattern 10" tall ships decanter tries to out sparkle all the other crystal. There's only one decanter.
I'm guessing about 20% of the pieces in my collection have minor reparable chips that have resulted from my use over 50 years most of which can be nicely restored by fire or other types of polishing.

The larger tumbler is about 3.75" high by 3&1/2" wide while the smaller one is about 3.5" high by 3" wide. There are 7 of each size tumbler.
