Description
Exquisite mid-century cordial glass featuring a vibrant teal blue bowl, clear knop stem, and gold-encrusted floral scrollwork. Pointed red glass 'jewels' are applied to the exterior for a textured, regal look. Often referred to as 'Moser style' or 'Venetian glass,' this piece is perfect for liqueur, aperitifs, or as a decorative display piece.
Key Features
Hand-applied 24k gold gilt, vibrant teal colorway, 'jeweled' glass cabochons, and a classic mid-century Hollywood Regency aesthetic.
Authenticity Indicators
Authenticity High (as a vintage piece). Note the lack of seams (blown glass), Pontil mark on the bottom (likely fire-polished), and the specific quality of the raised enamel/gilt typical of Czech or Italian exports of this era.
Flaws to Note
Slight rubbing/fading on the gold rim and the base ring. Hand-washing only; gold can flake if put in a dishwasher.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Etsy (best for vintage aesthetics), eBay (best for collectors), or a high-end Antique Mall booth.
Selling Tips
Use high-contrast lighting to show the teal color. Mention keywords like 'Moser Style,' 'Bohemian,' 'Gold Gilt,' and 'Jeweled Cordial.' Package extremely well with double-boxing to prevent breakage during shipping.
