The set includes one decanter with its original stopper and six matching cordial glasses, each showcasing a stylized floral motif rendered in white, green, and yellow over a warm gilt ground.
The decanter presents a classic European silhouette with a softly rounded body, flared neck, and clear glass stopper finished with gold enamel detailing. The matching glasses echo the same decorative palette and proportions, creating a cohesive and visually striking ensemble.
Produced in Europe during the mid-20th century, this set reflects decorative glass traditions inspired by Italian and Central European (Bohemian) art glass, where bold color, gilding, and hand-applied enamel were prized for both display and entertaining pieces. The decoration was executed using a multi-step firing process, resulting in layered depth and texture to the enamel and gilt details.
Ideal as a bar cabinet accent, dining room vignette, or decorative tabletop display, this set is best suited for decorative use rather than daily service.
