Crystal Continued

Posted on 21:00 by Ashish Chaturvedi
Swedish stemware, circa 1960, from another great name in crystal, Orrefors. Decidedly modernist in motif, these are not your grandmother's glasses! Sold as a complete collection, with 10 of each size (plus a few extra) with the original foil stickers. Take a moment to click & 'select' the photo above in order to expand the shot and truly appreciate the clean cubist design.

Gold layers and bullicante bubbles add to the luxuriousness of these vintage finds.
