Description from the seller
Set of metal liquor/shots glasses – Wolf head – circa mid-20th century
Era: circa 1950–1970
Material: golden metal alloy (brass or silver alloy with gold finish)
Height: 6 cm
Diameter: 4.8 cm
Good vintage condition
Description
Elegant set of metal liqueur glasses, each shaped like a wolf's head. The sculpture features detailed craftsmanship: the snout, ears, and fur are rendered with deep engravings, typical of European artisanal production from the mid-20th century.
The lower part functions as a chalice, with a small circular foot and a wide, shiny surface. On one side, there is a heraldic shield with a crown and the initials 'U.R.', characteristic of productions from Central or Eastern Europe.
These objects were commonly used in hunting or alpine chalet contexts: displayed upside down as figurines or used as shot glasses for strong liquors like vodka, grappa, or digestifs.
Conditions
Good overall condition
Presence of natural patina of time and small abrasions consistent with the age.
No structural crack
Still well-defined details.
Shipping
Tracked shipping within 5–15 days, varying depending on the destination country.
Careful and protective packaging.
The input is a dash character, which does not require translation.
