Silver Overlay Cenedese Murano Ruby Red Wine Glass Set 6
Fabulous set of six ruby red wine glasses with hand applied argento silver overlay decor. Made by Cenedese Glass, Murano Italy in the 1940s’-1950’s. The lacy-type pattern surrounding the scene was used in the 1700’s – 1800’s to represent festoons and drapery enclosing a scene. This fine vintage set is a revival of that era.
They are in EXCELLENT condition. The thick silver (argento – 92.5% pure silver) is 100% present with patina. We have not removed the patina, and leave that to the new owner to decide. ALL silver is present on the scene and on the rims. On one of the glasses’ base ring, a small spot of silver is missing, this is a maker’s miss, not the result of wear. The darker areas you see on the silver in the images is patina, and will clean off with a MILD metal polish, and a very soft cloth.
Deep, beautiful ruby red vessels. The festoons and drapery enclose a Venetian gondola scene. The silver was applied by hand, each vessel’s decor is slightly different. Scarce items.
Inverted, pontiled bases are applied to the stem, the stem is applied to the vessel. Each part hand-made. Full-sized wine glasses measure 6″ tall with a 2.75″ wide rim. Heavy, quality glass.
