These iconic glasses feature Culver’s signature gold crackle and oval medallion motif, accented by emerald green detailing on the inside of each glass that creates depth and drama when the glasses are filled. The heavy, clear glass bodies are richly gilt decorated, a hallmark of Culver’s luxury barware produced in the United States during the 1950s–1960s.

Culver is known as the quintessential example of American mid-century cocktail culture and one of the most sought-after names in vintage barware. Founded in Brooklyn in the early 20th century, Culver Ltd. became one of the most recognizable names in American luxury glassware. Rather than manufacturing the glass itself, Culver specialized in importing fine European blanks and embellishing them in the U.S. with real 22-karat gold, often combined with rich color and graphic pattern.

Today, Culver’s most iconic patterns—such as Pisa—are highly sought after for their bold presence and unmistakable mid-century glamour. See less
