A lovely set of 4 Mid Century Culver "Tennis Racket" (Tennis Racquet) glasses. Such a lovely pattern that features embossed black and gold tennis rackets with stark white tennis balls and a raised gold trim at the top, middle, and bottom. These rocks glasses have a nice, weighted feel to them. Truly a lovely set. We're not up on our Tennis terms (Match, Serve, Set), but we do know these Mid Century glasses are a "Win". Cheers.
This set includes 4 glasses
Maker/era: Culver; Mid Century
A bit about this vintage manufacturer: 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.
Hallmarks: All glasses are signed "Culver Ltd"
Measurements: Each glass is approx 3 1/2" tall x 3 1/4" in diameter
Condition: Very good vintage condition. We like to be thorough when it comes to our vintage pieces/sets, so here's a full summary:
1) This pattern has a very subtle "seam" that can be seen when looking directly at it (purely the nature of Culver Mid Century glassware and how the pattern was applied to the glass)
2) This same "seam" can be seen in the top gold band (again, very subtle)
Great glass clarity (no cloudiness). In short, these vintage glasses are in very good vintage condition and displays beautifully.
**On shipping: We take our packaging very seriously and carefully wrap all pieces well to ensure safe delivery.
