Flowers for the table—and something sparkling for the glass. This set of six vintage Italian highballs pairs clear glass with delicate floral bouquets, curling foliage, and ribbon-tied stems. Frosted petals contrast with fine engraved lines, while polished sterling-silver mounts bring a warm gleam to the base of each glass.
The slender cylindrical shape gives the decoration room to unfold without overwhelming the drink inside. Filled with a gin and tonic, a sparkling citrus cocktail, or simply water and a twist of lemon, they bring a sense of occasion to an everyday ritual.
Each silver mount is stamped 925 and ★ 36 LU, identifying sterling silver and a registered silver maker in the province of Lucca, Tuscany. One glass retains its original silver-work label.
Sold as a matching set of six. Coaster in photo not included, available separately.
Measurements
Each glass measures approximately:
Height: 5.6 inches / 14.2 cm
Diameter: 2.2 inches / 5.6 cm
Condition
Present beautifully in the photographs, with clear glass and light surface wear and tarnish visible on the silver mounts. One original label remains attached. Please review the photographs carefully for details of the decoration, silverwork, and condition.
History of the Maker
The silver mounts bear the Italian maker’s registration mark ★ 36 LU. “LU” denotes Lucca province, while “36” identifies the registered metalworker. The maker’s name has not been confirmed.
The star-format hallmark places the silverwork after 1968. These glasses are believed to date from the late twentieth century; the glass manufacturer remains unidentified.
Ways to Use
Serve gin and tonics, Tom Collins cocktails, or sparkling botanical drinks.
Bring elegance to iced tea, fresh lemonade, or mineral water at lunch.
Set them beside white porcelain and silver flatware for a softly romantic table.
For an out-of-the-box idea, arrange a few fresh flower stems in each glass and space them along a dinner table.
Give the set as a wedding, anniversary, or housewarming gift for someone who enjoys entertaining with vintage pieces.
