Description
A mixed lot of decorative glassware comprising a cased set of six Italian champagne flutes, a green pressed uranium style glass dressing table set, and various clear glass items. The set of six champagne flutes features amber-tinted bowls decorated with etched classical style scenes and gilt bands on clear stems. They are presented in a blue hard-shell case with a white silk style lining, accompanied by a booklet titled L’arte del decoro i Preziosi by c.f. Design and a Certificato di Garanzia. One glass bears a circular gold-tone adhesive label that is not legible as a name.
The collection includes a green pressed glass dressing table set featuring a fleur-de-lis pattern, consisting of a rectangular tray, a lidded powder bowl, and two lidded trinket pots. Additionally, the lot contains two clear glass trays with geometric patterns, a large flared vase with optic ribbing, a cut-glass bowl with starburst motifs, a footed compote, and a clear glass liner. Completing the group are two cobalt blue glass condiment pots housed in silver-plated pierced metal frames with matching small spoons.
