A breath-taking set of four (4) Culver "Charm Bracelet" rocks glasses. Such a magical pattern. These glasses feature a vibrant gold pattern of a butterfly, ballerina, a turtle, and various medallions -- each with a "jewel" inside. The backing of the pattern (when looking inside the glass) is Turquoise blue. Truly a breath-taking and rare set.
Please note: we have another set of 4 in this pattern, if you'd like a larger set. Please see other listings.
Culver was famous for their stunning decorative glassware in 22-karat gold – think lavish and opulent cocktailware of the 1950s and 60s. In the late 1950’s, Culver started the application of the 22-karat gold to their glassware. Fun fact: the super-heated, roll-on process of gold remains a secret today. Culver comes in a variety of patterns including gilded mushrooms, owls, cats, wildlife, Egyptian or Asian inspired design themes, holiday designs, sports motifs and many others. Culver stopped producing its gold overlay pieces in the 1980s.

Two of the glasses have a small scuff at the very bottoms/bases. There is very, very minor gold loss/age in a a few places (very minor). These glasses have been in a display cabinet for decades and are in very, very good condition overall. Cheers!
