Overview
A striking set of nine Mikasa glass wine goblets featuring clear tulip-shaped bowls supported by delicate frosted pink ribbed stems that mimic natural ocean fan coral or shells. Designed under the 'Sea Mist' pattern, these stems showcase a delightful contrast between clear brilliant glass and soft, tactile satin-frosted pink detailing.
Story
Introduced in the late 20th century, Mikasa's 'Sea Mist' line captured the Postmodern coastal aesthetic of the 1980s. Its frosted fan-stem design evokes shell motifs while offering an elegant, sculptural presence at the dinner table.
Maker / Origin
Mikasa was founded in 1948 as an American dinnerware distributor that partnered with premier international ceramic and crystal manufacturers, predominantly in Japan and Europe. Known for bringing sophisticated, modern table designs into everyday homes, Mikasa became a household name for high-quality lifestyle glass and tableware.
Condition & Value
The glasses appear to be in very clean vintage condition with no visible chips, cracks, or heavy scratching observed on the rims, stems, or bases. Clean frosted glass finish remains well preserved. Excellent condition helps maintain top-of-market value.
