This set remains in a rare state of preservation; the collection consists of 5 beautifully matched glasses, one of which proudly retains its original red and gold factory foil label.

Expertly blown from genuine Alexandrite (neodymium) art glass, these slender cylindrical tumblers exhibit a stunning dichroic property—shifting flawlessly from a rich lavender-amethyst hue in natural daylight to a crisp, light blue under incandescent lighting.

The minimalist silhouette balances perfectly straight, vertical lines with a remarkably substantial, heavy solid-glass base. Each base features a beautifully centered, floating controlled bubble core. Adding an extra layer of sophisticated Space Age detail, the body of each glass is subtly accented with fine, frosted white etched linear bands circling the center. This set is a spectacular find for a curated vintage bar setup or an elite mid-century design display. This piece has an attribution mark,
