This exceptional, vintage 5-piece Hollywood Regency pressed glass and silver-plated barware set effortlessly captures mid-century lounge elegance. Perfectly matched for immediate use or sophisticated bar cart display, this curated lot includes a heavy glass ice bucket with a swing handle, a coordinating pressed glass pinch bowl, a functional mechanical spring-action claw ice tongs, and two heavy glass starburst coasters wrapped in lightly polished silver-plated rims. It serves as an elite statement addition to a mid-century modern cocktail lounge, a gorgeous holiday tablescape, or a high-end gift for a discerning entertainer.
This meticulously curated cocktail entertaining set represents the golden age of mid-century jet-set lounge design, pulling luxury accents from the finest design houses of Europe. The primary crystal ice bucket features an authentic, factory-stamped "ARG 1000 / ITALY" hallmark on its polished swing handle, confirming it as a premium mid-20th-century Italian import plated in pure 1000/1000 fine silver. The vintage spring-action ice tongs are proudly stamped "MADE IN FRANCE" alongside an authentic partial factory over-strike reading "ANCE"—a classic production artifact from when the steel stamp struck the curved metal handle, cementing its mid-century European origin. The set is beautifully rounded out by a pair of heavy crystal drink coasters stamped by the legendary Leonard Silver Co., showcasing their signature heavy, polished silver-plated rope-accented rim borders.

The brilliant crystal components are remarkably bright, crisp, and clear, carrying absolutely no cloudiness, deep scratches, interior water scaling, or chips along the faceted points. The silver-plated and chrome rim trims remain beautifully polished and bright, displaying only the finest, honest micro-wear consistent with light historical display.The silver-plated rim of the coordinating small garnish/utility bowl exhibits an honest patch of vintage tarnish/surface rust where the base metal shows through. Because of this localized finish wear, the small bowl is being sold for decorative or non-food utility display only. The mechanical spring mechanism on the French tongs functions perfectly. less
