A spectacular set of 12 vintage Italian drinking glasses attributed to Murano production, comprising six cognac glasses and six champagne flutes.
Each glass is individually decorated in a striking palette of rose pink, pale aqua green and translucent amber-yellow. A broad gold-gilt band encircles each bowl, punctuated by clear circular reserves that create a bold, jewel-like polka-dot effect. Fine vertical detailing lends additional texture to the elongated champagne flutes.
The rounded cognac glasses have generous balloon-shaped bowls and substantial pedestal feet. The champagne flutes feature slender, gently flared bowls supported by amber-yellow stems and circular feet. Subtle variations among the glasses reflect their artisanal production and hand-applied decoration.
This complete service for six beautifully captures the exuberance of vintage Venetian design. Its unusual color combination and geometric gilding would make a glamorous addition to a bar cart, celebratory table or curated collection of Italian glassware.
