Vetrerie Murano - Drinking set (10) - Crystal

Set of 10 light, mouth-blown and hand-polished glass wine glasses, produced by Murano glassworks in the early decades of the 1900s. They carried a sticker label that was removed during washing. The stem features a node (or 'balustre') and a prominent rim in 24k gold at the top. This is a typical design of Murano-era glassware and crystal. The bowl has a funnel shape that is slightly flared upward (tulip or conical style), smooth and without facets or engravings on the main body. The stem is worked and structured with a torchon/balustre; a conspicuous spherical central node (a drop or button element) interrupts the line, elongating the glass and providing a solid grip. The base is circular, flat, and proportioned to the bowl’s width to ensure excellent stability. Size: height 13.7 x diameter 6.9 cm.
