Mid-Century Liquor Set (1950s) & Rare Monogrammed Bottle Attributable to S.A.L.I.R. Murano (1960s) - Glass/Crystal - Mint Condition
Exclusivo vintage bar/lounge lot composed of two pieces of fine artisanal craftsmanship, both in impeccable condition (MINT): no chips, hairlines, opacification, or signs of wear, including the bottle necks and caps.
1. Complete Liquor/Cordial Set from the 1950s
• Composition: 1 plump bottle (flattened tear-drop flask) with original spherical stopper and 6 coordinated conical 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 with 16 dots engraved by wheel and frames of stylized floral branches. The decoration on the glasses masterfully synthesizes the theme with line motifs, dots, and "pine needles".
• Closure: Perfect hermetic fit "glass on glass" thanks to the original mouth and stopper grinding.
• Technical Data: Light, sonorous 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) - weight 34 g each. Total set weight: 473 g.
2. Rare Monogrammed Collection Bottle - Murano Craftsmanship (Early 1960s)
• Provenance and History: Unique Venetian glass art piece from a family inheritance. Made to order in Murano as a personalized gift with the monogram "I C" (the grandmother’s name and surname, born and lived in Murano).
• Craftsmanship and Style: The geometric design combined with floral details, the depth of the carving, and the typical "rice grain" motifs make the piece strongly attributable 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 customized commissions in the early 1960s.
• Technique and Decoration: Transparent Murano art glass, massive and very heavy. The front presents the initials "I C" set in a rich frame of beveled dots and rice-grain carvings, surrounded by vegetative bands and 4 flowers. The sides and back are entirely covered by a dense pattern of irregular diamonds (following the curvature of the glass), floral arches, and wheel-engraved botanical details.
• Closure: Large stopper shaped like a miniature bottle (H 9 cm) with original era rubber gasket for a perfect hermetic seal.
• Technical Data: H 18 cm without stopper (24 cm with stopper). Width 15 cm. Base rectangular with rounded corners (8 x 6 cm). Notable weight: 764 g.
The lot will be packed with the utmost professional care to guarantee safe transport of the glass.
