20th Century Italian Glass Cups – A Pair

This pair of vintage glass cups are a delight to behold. Made in Italy in the 20th century, the wide lip of the bell-shaped cup indicates that this set could have been used for serving ice cream or similarly delectable desserts. The cup is decorated with elaborate foliate designs, fleur de lis and gadroons, creating an impression of Baroque splendor that is whimsically subverted by the bright color of the glass. The vivid sky blue tone makes a bold, playful impression, lending a note of gaiety to any occasion.
