Lot 68: A Collection of Decorative Mid-20th Century Glassware including a Boxed Set of Stemmed Glasses and several Spiral-Patterned Tumblers
An assortment of mid-20th-century decorative glassware. The collection comprises a set of stemmed wine or liqueur glasses in a cardboard presentation box and several miscellaneous tapering tumblers. The stemmed glasses are decorated with a silver-toned band near the rim, featuring a repeating circular and floral motif, above a series of white-etched fleur-de-lis designs. They are constructed with plain, tapering stems and circular bases. The tumblers feature vibrant spiral thread patterns in various colours including white, red, orange, and yellow-green, reminiscent of Venetian filigrana glass. Several items bear orange and white vendor labels with handwritten digits 89 and 12/12. No maker’s marks or signatures are visible. The glass appears to be of standard commercial quality, likely soda-lime or low-lead crystal, with moulded stems on the wine glasses.
Condition report:
The glassware appears to be in overall good condition, showing no significant chips, cracks, or clouding. The original cardboard box shows noticeable shelf wear, scuffing to the edges, and some deterioration to the internal red dividers.
