A stunning set of Mid Century Culver "Pisa" caddy set. Truly a breath-taking set. This pattern features Culver's signature 22k gold applied with a crackle effect on a green-hued background and oval cutouts. The gold wire caddy showcases the glasses beautifully.
A quick summary about this glassware maker: 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, scrolling leaf patterns, holiday designs, sports motifs and many others. The Pisa pattern is the essence of Hollywood Regency and glam!
Era/pattern: 1960s, Culver "Pisa" pattern
Hallmarks: *Please note: these glasses do NOT bare the Culver logo (Culver often did not put their logo on certain items/patterns).
Measurements: Each glass measures 5 1/2" tall x 2 3/4" in diameter; the caddy measures 9" tall x 12" in length x 6 1/4" wide
Condition: Great vintage condition. The glasses were never used. They've been stored away for decades. The metal caddy shows signs of age and tarnish (purely from age that occurs to metal over time, not from use). *Please note: many Mid Century patterns were made in "molds" and the "seam" of the pattern can be seen on each glass (see photo #10). This is common for Mid Century glassware.
