Story
The 1930s and 40s saw the rise of the 'bridge party' and the formal afternoon luncheon, where sets like this were the undisputed stars of the table.
Maker / Origin
While the specific maker is difficult to identify without a mark, this set is characteristic of the 'Elegant Glass' houses like Tiffin, Cambridge, or Fostoria.
Condition & Value
The glass appears remarkably clear in the photos, showing no signs of 'glass sickness' or permanent clouding from dishwasher use. Value is driven by the completeness of the set and the popularity of the 'ball pitcher' form.
