Description from the seller
Elegant and evocative service composed of 6 vintage original goblets from the 1970s, attributable to the famous French manufacture Luminarc (Verrerie d'Arques / J.G. Durand). The glasses come from a private family collection and have been kept intact for decades.
The set belongs to the iconic and sought-after Verre à pied "Boule" (Gambo a Sfera) model and is a perfect example of Space Age design. This aesthetic movement of the second half of the twentieth century, influenced by aerospace enterprises, favored spherical geometries and fluid lines: the characteristic central sphere in the stem perfectly embodies this retro-futurist taste, giving stability and a timeless pop aesthetic.
The wide, rounded cup, together with the pleasantly wide mouth, makes this service extremely versatile: perfect for tasting table wines, but also ideal for serving refined desserts with a spoon, mousse or sorbets.
