SOLD Set of 4 brushed steel banded hot beverage mugs.

Modernist glass in the style of Italian designer Joe Columbo (1930 - 1971).  This mug at first glance looks much like a current Rosendahl Copenhagen pattern called Grand Cru, designed by Danish designer Erik Bagger.
Image number 6 is a contemporary Rosendahl Grand Cru mug. As you can see it has a rounded handle and a high sheen metal band. Columbo's glassware designs of the 1950s often incorporated squared handles and steel, and brushed steel was a favorite. A nuclear future was on the world's collective mind, and space-age styled products were the rage. Joe Columbo was a much admired designer of the period.  Click here if you'd like to read and interesting article about Joe Columbo.

We believe these are vintage modernist Scandinavian glass beverage mugs in Joe Columbo style, dating to the 1950s.

Well-made, thick pressed glass with real brushed steel bands.  The bands are removable for cleaning.
Unmarked. Modernist styling dates to the 1950s -1960s. Reproduced, with changes in the details, today by stylish Scandinavian glass houses today.
All in excellent condition. Tall mugs measure 4.5" tall and weigh 3/4 lb each.
Perfect for cocoa, tea and coffee drinks.
