Carlo Moretti Tangerine Satinato Lead Crystal Goblet Set from the 1960’s

Made of pure high-quality lead crystal. Set of 19 retro mod goblets by Carlo Moretti, Italy. Circa 1959 to mid-1960’s. Hand blown with applied stems. Featuring the velvety soft Satinato finish Carlo Moretti is famous for.

We describe the color as ‘Tangerine’, a semi-opaque vivid orange that glows when the light shines through. Mesmerizing color, very popular among the very mod in the 1960’s. It is rare to find to find colored crystal in orange! It’s even rarer to find Moretti Satinato goblets as as set.

Made of quality crystal. These goblets produce a long and lingering tone when plinked.

ALL goblets in the set have NO damage to the Satinato finish. The finish is as bright as the day they were made by hand 60 years ago. 18 are without chips and in perfect condition, 1 dessert/champagne goblet has a very small sliver chip on the rim. All have rings of bottom-wear on the base (expected) due to surface contact over the past 50 years. The surface contact ring can be seen only when looking very closely and is not considered damage.

Set includes (8) Champagne/Dessert, (6) Wine, and (5) Water/Ice Tea goblets. Very rare to find a large set still together and in such fine shape, especially in this color.

The goblets are heavy due to the fine quality glass. Water goblets measure 7″ tall, with a 3.5″ wide mouth and weigh just under 1 lb each. The wine glasses are 5.5″ tall, 2.5″ wide mouth and weigh just under 1/2 lb. The champagne goblets stand 4.5″ tall with a 4.25″ wide mouth and weigh just over 1/2 lb.

Incredibly rare find.
