A striking mid-century coloured glass drinks set, comprising a large green jug and four matching stemmed glasses in green, blue, amber and smoky grey.
Each piece is decorated with an ornate silver-tone floral and scrolling overlay, giving the set a very distinctive vintage look. The jug is particularly decorative, with a tall tapered body, flared pouring spout, clear applied handle and wrapped handle detail.
The set has the appearance of Italian / Venetian decorative glassware, although there are no visible maker’s marks, so I have not attributed it to a specific factory.
Set comprises:
* 1 large green jug
* 4 coloured stemmed glasses
Jug measurements
* Height: approx. 24 cm
* Base diameter: approx. 8 cm
* Spout to handle: approx. 11.5 cm
* Weight: approx. 451 g
Glasses
* Height: approx. 9.5 cm
* Rim diameter: approx. 4 cm
* Weight: approx. 40 g each
Condition
The set displays very well overall.
Please note there is a previous repair at the upper section of the jug near the top/spout area, shown clearly in the close-up photographs. It is not especially noticeable when displayed, but it is present and has been reflected in the price.
There is also some age-related wear to the silver decoration, consistent with vintage use.
A very decorative and unusual set, ideal for a vintage bar, drinks cabinet or display collection.
