Drinking service - Glass

For auction is an exquisite and highly decorative set of glassware, firmly belonging to the tradition of Mid-Century Italian Art Glass. This set, comprising a decanter (cruet) with its stopper and five matching cordial glasses, is a true statement piece for any bar or dining collection. Key Features: • Composition: 1 Decanter/Cruet (with stopper) + 5 Matching Glasses. • Design: Each piece features a distinctly hand-blown, cobalt blue twisted stem (ritorto or opaque twist) rising from a clear base, creating a dynamic, elegant visual effect. • Colour: Intense, rich Cobalt Blue mass colour, characteristic of high-quality Venetian glass. • Era: Estimated to be produced between the 1950s and 1970s, reflecting the peak of the Mid-Century Modern movement in European glass art. Condition & Provenance: • Condition: The set is in Excellent Vintage Condition. There are no chips, cracks, or significant scratches to note. The glass remains highly transparent and vibrant. The hand-blown nature ensures minor, unique irregularities typical of authentic artisan work, which only add to its charm. • Attribution: While unsigned (common for this period), the quality, colour saturation, and advanced technique of the twisted stem strongly suggest a Murano workshop origin or high-quality production in the Venetian style (e.g., from a master Italian or Czech glassmaker). Dimensions (Accurately Measured): • Decanter Height: 34 cm • Glass Height: 17 cm
