Description from the seller

Splendid and rare Italian handcrafted table service from the 1950s/1960s (Mid-Century Modern era), characterized by an elegant color contrast between the transparent glass and the warm amber tones of the bases.

A versatile set, ideal for serving water, juices, cocktails, or liqueurs with elegance.

The lot includes:
- 2 beautiful matching decanters/pitchers, complete with their original frosted glass stoppers.
- Distinctive feature: the bottom base clearly shows the glossy pontil mark and the characteristic shear lines from the blowing cane, unmistakable signs of an entirely hand-made production.
- 6 matching glasses

Condition: excellent/perfect

The service shows no marks or signatures, a detail typical of historical Empoli or Murano productions of the era, which identified themselves with paper or adhesive labels that have since been removed.

Some pieces show tiny dark inclusions and micro-bubbles trapped in the glass melt, natural testimony to the artisan glassmaking of the period.

Clear, intact, and brilliant glass. Shipped with tracked delivery and reinforced professional packaging, a “box-in-a-box” system to ensure absolute safety of the pieces.
