Cased Amethyst Italian Art Glass Wine Stems

Cased Amethyst Italian Art Glass Wine Stems

Pair of tall hand blown mid-century wine glasses. Solid amethyst glass wine stems finished with a white and amethyst cased bowl resulting in a creamy grape color.

Hand blown with inverted applied base. Rounded pontil mark on seat. Both in excellent, original condition. Both have tiny air bubbles on base. The bowls also have a couple small untintentional air bubbles, hard to see. Trapped air bubbles are commonly found on hand made glass from the 1950’s to 1960’s.

Very tall, long stemmed wines. Measure 9″ tall. The original retro-mod crowd of the mid-century used these with elaborate, big, matching decanters that are again very popular and sought after today. Probably Italian made, the Scandinavians also made this type of cased glass at the time. Circa 1950’s-1960’s.
