Made in refined transparent glass, mouth-blown in Venetian style, each glass features an enchantingly engraved hand-satinized design that nods to the sophisticated motifs of the 18th century. The engraved patterns, with interlacing, leaves, volutes, and noble figures, impart a timeless charm that will captivate attention on any occasion. Perfect for elevating your evenings and ensuring impeccable service, these glasses are an elegant complement to your collection. Their classic beauty makes them ideal for any event, from formal dinners to intimate moments. The glasses belong to the glassware line: S.I.V.A. (Società Industrie Vetrarie Artistiche) M. Indovino Venezia and are antiques and collectible Italian glass objects dating roughly to the first decade of the 20th century. Decorated with acid etching, wheel engravings, or details and finishes in theme. The cups have a slightly flared shape (inverted cone trunk) resting on a thick, sturdy base with a ring. The decoration is Baroque in style, with the engraving of a lady with a knight. Vetreria SIVA, founded and directed in Venice during the 20th century (with particularly active and appreciated production in the first half of the century, around the 1910s/1930s), Mario Indovino’s company specialized in creating artistic glass and high-quality tableware. SIVA was famous for its expertise in acid engraving and hand-finishing. This technique allowed for that characteristic cameo effect—velvety and softly shaded—perfect for botanical figures, foliage, and dynamic scenes (like the juggler/dancer on the balloon-shaped stem goblet). The pieces bore the original paper label: an oval or rectangular label bearing the inscription SIVAM INDOVINO VENEZIA. Highly sought after in the antique and collectible market of fine artistic glass.
