Set of 6 1950s 'Perfectly Unmatched' Gold Leaf Wine Glasses

Sale price€1.450,00

Set of 6 1950s 'Perfectly Unmatched' Gold Leaf and neutral tones Wine Glasses. Each glass was individually hand-blown in Murano using gold leaf and differing techniques depending on each one's design. Together these 1950s and 60s wine glasses make for a charmingly unmatching set. Perfect for the most interesting lunch or dinner table, where every guest is given their own glass. 

Provenance. Somewhere on Murano, behind an unmarked door, an old furnace keeps a warehouse of unopened boxes. A dear friend recently took me to this top secret location and inside, we found what Venice forgot: one‑off Murano coupes, flutes and goblets with stems like high jewellery and glass in the palest lagoon colours. Inside each box were the forgotten pieces from Venice’s great glass houses: small remainders from closed furnaces and  shops, carefully wrapped and then abandoned. Sitting on the cement floor, we unwrapped them one by one. Each parcel revealed a single hand‑blown coupe, prosecco flute, wine or aperitivo glass – no pairs, no sets, just lone masterpieces. Back in Florence, we have hand‑selected these jewels and placed them into 'perfectly unmatching' sets of eight. Every set is a tiny cabinet of curiosities: eight singular Murano glasses that belong together precisely because they do not match. There are only a few sets in existence.

Dimensions: H21cm x W8cm x D8cm
