A lovely and rare set of 4 Imperial Glass Co. "El Tabique D’Oro" 22k gold tumblers/glasses. Such a stunning pattern. These glasses scream all things Hollywood Regency. Made by Imperial Glass Co in the early 1960s, these glitzy tumblers have real 22k gold in the paint. The oval pattern is simply stunning with its raised texture from top to bottom. A truly gorgeous set.
The Imperial Glass Company was founded in 1901 by Edward Muhleman, with production beginning in 1904. Their handmade glasswares were sold worldwide and were typically made of pressed glass patterns. Their "Shoji" line, which was manufactured from 1965 to 1974, gilded with real 22k gold and is the quintessential style of the Hollywood Regency Era.
Maker/pattern/year: Imperial Glass Co., El Tabique D’Oro, 1965-1974
Hallmarks: Each is marked on the bottom with the Imperial Glass Company logo
Measurements: 5 3/4" tall x 2 12" in diameter
Condition: Great vitnage condition. These glasses have never been used and have been in a display cabinet for years. There is extremely minor age (that comes purely from time and not use) and a few manufacturing occurrences (i.e. a few places where the gold is slightly lighter or didn't get "filled in" as heavily, purely the nature of this glassware brand and pattern). In short, these glasses are in great condition with extremely minor age. They display beautifully.
**On shipping: We take our packaging very seriously and carefully wrap all pieces well to ensure safe delivery. These glasses will be double-boxed to ensure safe arrival.
