Lot 163: A Seven-Piece Set of Mid-Century Gilt-Rimmed Glass Drinkware with Botanical Decoration
A seven-piece glass water or juice set consisting of one pitcher and six tumblers. The clear glass items are decorated with transfer-printed polychrome botanical sprays featuring golden wheat, red poppies, blue cornflowers, and yellow blossoms. Each piece is finished with a gilded band at the rim. The pitcher features a clear glass handle and a slightly bulbous body tapering towards the neck. This style is characteristic of mid-20th-century British glassware, resembling patterns produced by manufacturers such as Ravenhead or United Glass. No maker marks or backstamps are present on the items.
Condition report:
The set is in good vintage condition. There is noticeable wear and thinning to the gilding on the rims of both the pitcher and the tumblers, consistent with regular domestic use. No chips, cracks, or significant surface scratches are apparent.
