A stunning and magical set of Atomic Starburst glasses by Fred Press. The epitome of Atomic glassware. This pattern features two half moons (that make a circle) with a gold starburst pattern radiating from it along with retro atomic boldly colored dots (that resemble a bean shape). The colors include: 2 Turquoise, 2 Yellow, 2 Orange, and 1 White. Similar to Culver and other MCM glassware makers, Fred Press used real 22k gold in their paint. All glasses are signed. Truly a gorgeous set!
A quick summary on this glassware maker: Mid-Century designer Fred Press was known for creating unique and stunning cocktail glassware (sold at places like New York’s Fifth Avenue and other upscale Mid Century retailers). Real 22k gold was used in the paint. Best known for his Gold Starburst series, his patterns are unmistakable including this pastel pink/gold leaves pattern.
Condition: Great condition. There's some extremely minimal (and we mean minimal) gold loss. Overall, these glasses are in excellent condition. Perfect clarity, no cloudiness and zero chips or nicks. Truly a stunning set.
Hallmarks: All glasses are signed "Fred Press" in their respective color (i.e. the Turquoise glass is signed in Turquoise).
Measurements: Each highball glass is 5 1/2" tall by 2 3/4" in diameter.
Cheers!
