This would suit any display cabinet, dresser or sideboard and will knock the socks off your treasured guests.

*10 available - diameter 1.9 in (5 cm), height 2.7 in (7 cm)

Of note:
This set is especially close to my heart, as it bears the distinctive marks of true artisan glass ware. For example, the customized shape of each tumbler as well as the tell-tale pontil mark where the piece was removed from the glass-blowing pontil rod (see the 9th photo). If you would like more information about this, I found this web-page useful: https://sha.org/bottle/pontil_scars.htm. It is entirely possible that this set is much older than what's listed, but it is certainly not more recent than the 1950s.

Condition:
*As a whole, the set is in very good condition, though there are some minor issues as listed below.
*The pitcher has a small crack near the handle (see photo) and is therefore not considered part of the set, though it will be included for free. As with glassware, the crack may stay as is, but will probably grow with time- especially during the shipping process. If you purchase this set and prefer that the pitcher NOT be included (thus reducing the shipping price considerably), please indicate this in your buyer's comments. There is possability that the pitcher even arrive broken, though unlikely if packed skillfully.

*2 small chips in 2 glasses, very slight blemishes and discoloration around the rim of one glass. The 2 chipped glasses are thrown in free of charge.
