🕰️ History and Context
• Mikasa was founded in the U.S. in the late 1940s but became famous in the 1960s–1980s for importing and branding fine tableware, especially from Japan and Germany.
• The Park Lane pattern is one of Mikasa’s more iconic and collectible crystal designs, known for its elegant vertical cuts that catch and refract light.
• These glasses were part of a full line that included wine goblets, water glasses, flutes, and more.
• Manufactured in West Germany, which helps date these glasses to pre-1990, since Germany reunified in that year.
