Italian Incamiciato Cased Glass Tumblers, c.1960s

Story

Post-war Italy became the world's laboratory for glass design, where centuries-old techniques were suddenly applied to the sleek, space-age shapes of the 1960s.

Maker / Origin

While the generic scalloped foil sticker was used by various export firms, these are highly characteristic of the workshops in Empoli or Murano.

Condition & Value

The glasses appear to be in excellent vintage condition with no visible chips or 'flea bites' on the rims. The fact that the original foil stickers are still attached suggests these were likely 'cabinet pieces' and never saw heavy use or dishwasher cycles. Excellent condition and original labeling command a premium in the MCM market.
