A striking set of six vintage handblown small cordial or liqueur glasses, likely Italian and dating to the 1960s or 1970s. Each glass combines a softly rounded bowl with a substantial cylindrical pedestal, creating a bold architectural silhouette characteristic of mid-century modern glass design.

A single round air bubble is suspended within each thick pedestal. The deeply indented underside of the bowl creates a concentric optical effect when viewed from above, while the concave base adds further dimension and refracts light beautifully through the clear glass.

Subtle variations in weight and execution are consistent with handmade production. Substantial for their size, the glasses weigh approximately 150–161 grams each and feel pleasingly solid in the hand. Their compact proportions make them ideal for serving amaro, limoncello, grappa, or digestifs.

The maker remains unidentified; therefore, these are conservatively described as likely Italian rather than attributed to a particular designer or glassworks.
