Set of 6 cognac glasses, clear glass, gilding / Austria / 1960s.

This set of six mid-20th-century cognac glasses, crafted from high-quality clear glass, embodies the classic form characteristic of the mid-century modern style. Each glass features a wide, bulbous bowl, a sturdy short stem, and a broad, stable foot for comfortable handling. They are adorned with thick, metallic gold rims, the mirror-like sheen of which contrasts beautifully with the smooth, transparent glass. Originating from Austria in the 1950s or 60s, the set remains in excellent condition, free from chips or scratches. The original manufacturer's labels are visible on the bases, and the set comes in its original period box, which shows only minor signs of age and remains in good condition. These glasses capture the evocative spirit of an era that delighted in celebrating everyday life with a touch of glamour. The gilded rims tell the story of a time when luxury was expressed through detail, and a toast raised with such glassware was meant to underscore the uniqueness of the moment. Their simple, elegant form evokes the atmosphere of Viennese drawing rooms and evenings where the glass caught the glow of lamps and reflected conversations about the future. The set is a perfect fit for a classic dining room or a collector’s living room, where it can be paired with period porcelain or modern, minimalist glass—the contrast highlighting the beauty of the gold rims. It also makes a striking addition to a mid-century style home bar, alongside brass trays, a crystal decanter, or geometric colored-glass vases. Thanks to the original box, the set can also be displayed open, showcasing the illustration on the lid as a subtle vintage accent. The price applies to the set of six glasses, including the original box.
