Description from the seller

Mid-Century Liquor Set (1950s) & Rare Monogrammed Bottle Attributable to S.A.L.I.R. Murano (1960s) - Glass/Crystal - Mint Condition
Exclusive vintage bar/lounge lot consisting of two pieces of fine artisanal workmanship, both in impeccable condition (MINT): no chips, hairlines, opacities, or signs of wear, including bottle necks and caps.
1. Complete Liquor/Cordial Set (1950s – Art Deco / Transitional Style)
• Composition: 1 stout bottle (flattened drop-shaped decanter bottle) with original spherical stopper and 6 coordinated stemmed tasting glasses with short stems.
• Decoration: Refined white sandblasting on two sides depicting 18th-century gallant scenes (Lady and Knight). The other two sides feature a complex geometric diamond-cut pattern with 16 incised dots and frames of stylized floral branches. The decoration on the glasses masterfully conveys the theme with line motifs, dots, and pine needle-like elements.
• Closure: Perfect airtight fit “glass to glass” thanks to the original mouth and stopper grinding.
• Technical Data: Light, clear crystal glass. Bottle: H 21 cm (base Ø 6 cm, max width ~10.5 cm) - weight 269 g. Glasses: H 6.5 cm (Ø 4 cm) - 34 g each. Total set weight: 473 g.
2. Rare Monogrammed Collection Bottle - Murano Craftsmanship (Early 1960s)
• Provenance and History: One-of-a-kind Venetian glass art piece from a family inheritance. Commissioned on Murano as a personalized gift with the monogram "I C" (the grandmother’s first and last name, born and living in Murano).
• Craftsmanship and Style: The geometric design combined with floral details, the depth of the carving, and the characteristic “rice grain” motifs strongly attribute the piece to the prestigious engraving school of S.A.L.I.R. of Murano (Studio Ars Labor Industrie Riunite) or to the high-end production of Nason, historically active on the island in this type of personalized commissions in the early 1960s.
• Technique and Décor: Transparent, massive Murano artistic glass. The front features the initials "I C" inset in a rich frame of milled dots and rice-grain engravings, surrounded by vegetative bands and 4 flowers. The sides and back are entirely covered with a dense pattern of irregular diamonds (following the curve of the glass body), floral arches, and botanical details engraved around the wheel.
• Closure: Large mini-bottle-shaped cap (H 9 cm) with an original-era rubber gasket for a perfect airtight seal.
• Technical Data: H 18 cm without the stopper (24 cm with stopper). Width 15 cm. Rectangular base with rounded corners (8 x 6 cm). Notable weight: 764 g.
The lot will be packed with the utmost professional care to ensure safe glass transport.
