A lovely set of eight (8) "Turtle" rocks glasses by Culver, Mid Century, still in the original box.  This pattern is simply breath-taking and has a "raised" texture to it. The pictures don't do the design justice. Truly a stunning set.

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. 
 
Maker/pattern/era: Culver, Turtle pattern, 1960s

Hallmarks: All glasses are signed "Culver Ltd" in gold cursive font and the box is marked "Turtle" along with the glassware model number.

Measurements: Each glass is just shy of 3 1/2" tall x 3 1/4" in diameter

Condition: Excellent condition. This set is NOS (new old stock) and had never been used. The box shows age that cardboard gets over the course of decades. The glasses are all in excellent shape.

Please note: Mid Century glassware often has imperfections (i.e. tiny bubbles in the glass, or a "seam" from when the glass was being created, an extra spot of gold or enamel that made it on a clear part of the glass, etc -- purely the nature of vintage glassware).

**On shipping: We take our packaging very seriously and carefully wrap all pieces to ensure safe delivery.
