Set of 3 Cobalt Blue & Gilt Bohemian Glass Tumblers

A sophisticated set of three cobalt blue and gilt glass aperitif tumblers, richly decorated with hand-applied gold enamel in the Bohemian tradition. These are refined mid-century drinking glasses—larger and more substantial than shot glasses—designed for aperitifs, cordials, vermouth, or elegant small pours. Each tumbler displays a deep cobalt blue band adorned with flowing foliate and floral motifs in warm gilt, executed by hand rather than transfer printing. The gold decoration shows the subtle variation and depth characteristic of artisan enamel work. A clear lower register and weighted base provide balance and a visually elevated profile. Unmarked, yet confidently attributable by style and technique to Central European (Bohemian / Austrian) glass production of the late 1950s to 1960s, a period known for luxurious export glassware produced for the international decorative table market. Comparable examples are frequently associated with high-quality workshops supplying firms such as Moser and their contemporaries, though no specific maker attribution is claimed. These tumblers photograph beautifully and present exceptionally well in a curated bar cabinet or vitrine. The cobalt-and-gold palette is timeless, dramatic, and increasingly sought after by collectors of European art glass and mid-century luxury tableware. ⸻ Details: • Origin: Central Europe (Bohemian / Austrian style) • Date: Late 1950s–1960s • Materials: Clear glass with cobalt blue overlay and hand-applied gilt enamel • Height: 4 inches • Mouth diameter: 2 1/4 inches • Base diameter: 1.5 inches • Weight (set): 0.76 pounds • Quantity: Set of 3 • Form: Aperitif tumblers / small drinking glasses ⸻ Condition: Excellent vintage condition.
