A collection of eleven pieces of vintage decorative glassware in varying amber and marigold iridescent tones.

The items are of pressed and blown glass construction. The iridescent pieces are consistent with the style of mid-20th-century manufacturers such as Indiana Glass or Fenton. No permanent manufacturer’s marks were detected, though several pieces bear adhesive lot tags bearing the numbers 4 and 8.


Condition report:

The glassware is in good vintage condition with no significant chips, cracks, or repairs visible. The white enamel decoration on the decanter set is well-preserved. Minor surface wear consistent with age may be present on the base of the larger items.
