Description

View Vintage Italian Mid-Century Gold & Blue Ornate Champagne Flutes Set of 6 with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. Set of: 6 matching champagne flutes. The glass itself is structurally intact, with no cracks noted. The decoration is especially striking. The decoration is applied to the exterior surface of the clear glass. Offered for sale is a beautiful matching set of six vintage champagne flutes featuring clear glass with an elaborate and highly detailed gold and blue ornamental decoration around the upper portion of each glass. The decoration is especially striking. Each glass has a wide band of repeating ornamental scrollwork and stylized foliate motifs, with gold decoration and blue detailing incorporated into the design. The decoration is applied to the exterior surface of the clear glass. When the glasses are viewed from the inside, the blue portion of the decoration is clearly visible behind the gold ornamental work, creating a beautiful two-tone effect against the clear glass. The glass itself is clear, not blue. The elaborate decoration gives these glasses the sophisticated character associated with vintage mid-century Italian and European decorative glassware. They would make a wonderful addition to a vintage barware collection, formal entertaining collection, or display of vintage glass. DETAILS * Set of: 6 matching champagne flutes * Glass: Clear * Decoration: Elaborate exterior gold and blue ornamental/scroll design * Style: Vintage / Mid-Century * Approximate height: 81/4 inches * Quantity: Six glasses, sold together The unusually wide decorative band, intricate scrolling design, and combination of gold and blue decoration make these particularly interesting to collectors of vintage Italian and mid-century glassware. CONDITION These glasses are in vintage condition, consistent with their age and previous use. The glass itself is structurally intact, with no cracks noted. There is moderate age/use-related wear to portions of the exterior gold decoration, including some areas where the gold has worn through to the clear glass. The blue decorative elements remain visible. Please examine all photographs carefully, as they are an important part of the condition description and show both the beautiful detail of the decoration and the areas of vintage wear. Please do not use abrasive cleaners or polish on the decorative areas, as this could cause additional loss of the gold decoration. MAKER / AGE The glasses are believed to be vintage mid-century Italian/European decorative glassware. They were acquired by the original owner many decades ago and are believed to date from approximately the mid-century period, potentially the 1960s–1970s. The exact manufacturer and production date have not been confirmed. There are no maker’s marks, signatures, stickers, foil labels, or manufacturer’s identification present on the glasses. For that reason, I am intentionally not attributing them to a specific manufacturer. The elaborate gold and blue decoration and overall construction are consistent with the style of vintage Italian/European decorative stemware of the period. PLEASE NOTE These are a matching set of six and will be sold together. Please look closely at all photographs. The photographs are considered part of the description and show the condition, decorative details, and areas of normal vintage wear. Please feel free to ask any questions or to request more photos.
