Set 6 Mid-Century Decanter Bar Glass

Set 6 Mid-Century Decanter Bar Glass

The most unusual vintage whiskey glasses we’ve seen. Set of SIX mid-century (1950’s-60’s) double-shot sized whiskey glasses with decor in the style of decanters popular in the era. Stunning stoppered bottle decanters were made in glass by the popular glass makers of the mid-century like Blenko, Viking, Bischoff and other American makers. This awesome style of bottle / decanter was also imported from the Scandinavian countries, Italy and Germany and others.

The decor was done in salmon-colored enamel and gold leaf. Four of the decanters havetags around the bottle neck which read: “Sherry”, “Claret”, “Tonic”, and “Chablis”. One bottle has a label on its front that reads “Gin”. Each tumbler has the same 7 decanters and what looks like a tall champagne glass. The decor is in great condition. Enamel is in 100% excellent condition, the gold shows some slight wear areas, not noticeable unless studied closely. The writing on the gold leaf labels has flattened and is hard to read. The glass is in excellent condition, no chips, cracks or stains.

They are mold blown with weighted bases. Nice medium weight glass. Measure 2.75″ tall with 2.75″ wide mouths. There are no identifying marks. Can’t say who or where they were made. Can positively identify the decanter decor as an Eames era, mid-century trade-mark of sorts.
