A striking vintage Italian cocktail service by Fratelli Magrino of Florence, comprising six crystal martini glasses and a matching crystal decanter. Each piece is elaborately decorated with sculptural grape clusters, curling vines and textured leaves in 925 sterling silver.
The tall, flared cocktail glasses rise from richly modeled grapevine bases, while the substantial angular-form decanter is encircled at the neck by coordinating silver grapes and foliage. Its faceted crystal stopper and deeply cut geometric form complete the dramatic Florentine design.
Each glass carries the Italian hallmarks “925” and “★ 871 FI,” identifying Fratelli Magrino of Firenze. Each glass is also marked as containing 20 grams of 925 sterling silver. The decanter is marked as containing approximately 45–50 grams of 925 sterling silver. The total guaranteed 925 sterling-silver content of the complete seven-piece service is approximately 165–170 grams.
An impressive statement service for a cocktail bar, drinks table or display cabinet, combining traditional Florentine silversmithing with glamorous late-20th-century Italian design. The set is especially appealing for serving martinis, aperitivi and other classic cocktails.
