Sergio Asti - Drinking service - Alexandrite Crystal

Fantastic five glasses in violet crystal, but when placed in the dark they turn blue, 1960s, handmade with the data from the jug
Code: Y131
Period: 1960s
Style: vintage design
Includes: 5 glasses and a carafe containing a stirring rod
Dimensions: H 13.5 cm x Ø 6.5 cm
Weight: about 2.5 kg
The value of these glasses is even higher, because they have not the faintest defect, with no chips or signs of any kind
Splendid vintage set consists of glasses and an asymmetrical cocktail carafe with a mixing wand, made in fine Alexandrite crystal (also known as neodymium glass).
This is an icon of Italian design dating from the 1970s, produced by Vecris crystalware within the famous "Linea Kristall".
The most fascinating feature of this material is its dichroic property: the color of the glass chromatically shifts from lilac and violet tones to blue depending on the type and refraction of light it is exposed to.
Each piece still bears the original label certifying the handcrafted workmanship performed by hand.
Don’t miss them!
