The colors range from ruby red to cobalt blue, from emerald green to amber, embellished with gold-colored glass details that catch the light.

These pieces are meticulously crafted, decorative reproductions of antique Venetian goblets, made using the glass-overlay technique, which involves a white glass core covered with one or more layers of colored glass.
They were part of the famous "Bicchieri d'Arte Veneziani" collection and are now highly sought after by collectors, their rarity accentuated by their natural fragility.

Small irregularities and air bubbles are not defects but attest to the authenticity of the craftsmanship, making each piece unique and one-of-a-kind. This is a set of great aesthetic appeal, perfect for display in a showcase or as a classy gift idea, intended exclusively for decorative use.

Dimensions: tallest goblet 13.5 cm × 6 cm in diameter.
Excellent condition with slight signs of wear consistent with its age.

These are goblets from the affordable line of Murano glass production, not master glassblower pieces costing hundreds of euros each. The price reflects this exactly. See less
