Vintage Decanter TALL Mid Century Dark Turquoise & Clear Italian Art Glass Decanter w/ 2 Glasses - Retro Hand Blown Barware Set Twisted Stem

Amazing tall and thin hand blown art glass decanter and two glasses. The vibrant dark turquoise colored decanter has a twisted clear glass handle and base. The glasses are also turquoise glass with clear glass bases. The stopper is a silver coated glass.

This vintage decanter has a larger bulbous body and tapers up to a thin neck. The section where the pedestal base connects to the body has a decorative flourish of swirls and what seem like petal shapes - see photos above. The handle is twisted clear glass. The pair of matching glasses are a tall flute shape with a clear twisted glass stem.

The glass stopper has a silver coating all over it making it quite unique.

It is hand blown glass and has the typical bubbles, variations in thickness and color. While it is not marked, I would guess it is Italian and from the mid century as these types of sets were common at that time. These sets usually had more than 2 matching glasses but it would seem that these two are all that made it out of the 1960s -1970s.

The decanter, stopper and two glasses are in nice vintage condition with no chips or cracks. As would be expected items from the mid century, there is some cloudiness inside the decanter and light wear here and there. There is some scratching on the bulbous part of the decanter and on one glass that can be seen upon close inspection. Some wear on the glass end of stopper and on inside of glass where stopper from use as would be expected an item of this age. Item's price reflects these conditions.
