A stunning set of 6 Mid Century jeweled "Christmas Tree" glasses by Culver. Such a stunning set. The pattern features a vibrant gold Christmas tree adorned with Christmas "ornaments" (jewels). Truly a breath-taking set.
Please note: Culver made this pattern in two slightly different variations. This one and another that has more "texture" or "raised lines" to the tree. If you're matching an existing pattern, be sure this is the one you're looking for. Cheers!
A quick summary about this glassware maker: 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, scrolling leaf patterns, holiday designs, sports motifs and many others. The jeweled Ornaments pattern is one of Culver's harder to find patterns and is truly the essence of Culver glassware.
Maker/era: Culver, Mid Century
Hallmarks: All glasses are signed "Culver Ltd" (Culver Limited) in gold cursive
Measurements: 5 1/2" tall x 2 3/4" in diameter
Condition: Very good vintage condition. These glasses have resided in a display cabinet for years. The gold is extremely vibrant overall and there are no missing jewels (although one jewel isn't perfectly round, see below). We like to be thorough when it comes to our vintage glassware, so here's a full summary:
1) These glasses are in good shape overall; there's very minor wear/age that comes purely from time including a few small areas to the gold
2) Please note: not all "jewels" are perfectly centered (purely the nature of this Culver pattern)
3) One orange jewel is missing it's corner/edge, we suspect this happened during manufacturing (see photo #9, middle glass, the orange jewel on the lower left hand side)
In short, these glasses are in very good vintage condition with mild signs of age and one jewel that isn't perfect. Great glass clarity. All jewels are present. The gold is vibrant. Truly a stunning set.
Please note: Mid Century glassware can have tiny bubbles, glue residue near the jewels, a jewel that's ever so slightly not perfectly centered, a tiny extra spot of gold or a tiny spot where the gold didn't get fully applied/filled in and other natural imperfections -- purely the nature of Mid Century glassware. In short, this set of glasses is in very, very good vintage condition and display beautifully. Truly a breath-taking set.
**On shipping: We take our packaging very seriously and carefully wrap all pieces well to ensure safe delivery. Please note: we are not making a penny on shipping. We pack our items securely to ensure safe arrival (especially our glassware, which means a larger, heavier box)!
