The Borocrystal liqueur set from the 1950s, produced in the Chribska glassworks in Czechoslovakia, comprises a decanter and six glasses. Crafted from deep cobalt blue glass, the set exhibits mid-century modern silhouettes—both streamlined and bulbous in proportion. The decanter (height 23 cm, diameter 8.5 cm) is topped with a stopper finished in reflective gold. Both the decanter and the glasses (height 6 cm, diameter 4 cm) are encircled by horizontal gold bands that rhythmically accentuate the contours, while the short clear stems of the glasses offer compelling contrast to the saturated blue. The surfaces are smooth and glossy, and the gold decoration is well-preserved with only minor wear. The set remains in very good condition, free from chips or cracks and retaining its decorative detailing nearly intact.This set captures the pulse of the mid-20th century—bold color meets the discipline of fine utilitarian design. The cobalt glass and geometric gold ornamentation evoke an air of convivial ritual, echoing postwar Europe's embrace of clarity and optimism paired with the polish of classic elegance. The pieces seem to recount stories of candlelit gatherings, where glass plays with light, creating a subtle spectacle for shared moments.The set may be displayed on a veneered tray in a collector’s living room or atop a home bar shelf in a personal library. It would pair well with mid-century modern interiors where the composition of blue glass and gold finds harmony among teak wood, classic porcelain, or brass accents. One might combine the set with vivid ceramics or textiles in geometric motifs to complement a space
