This set of six cocktail glasses from the 1980s exemplifies the era’s distinctive interplay of bold color and minimalist form. The bowls are crafted from cobalt blue glass, featuring a subtle gradient that lightens towards the rim, creating a sense of depth and clarity. Each glass rests on a tall, clear stem with a faceted spiral design, adding a decorative and tactile accent while ensuring a comfortable grip. The bases are round, flat, and transparent, providing stability. The glass surface is smooth and glossy, showing no signs of restoration or flaws. The generous proportions—wide bowl (10 cm diameter), slender stem, and a height of 19 cm—reflect the aesthetics of late 20th-century European glassware. The set is preserved in very good condition, free from chips, cracks, or visible wear. The cobalt hue recalls the spirit of late modernism and the sociable evenings of the 1980s, when bold color and subtly sculpted shapes expressed a desire for individuality. Each glass seems to tell a story of gatherings around the home bar, with light refracting through the glass and casting cool reflections on the surface below. The spiral stem evokes a sense of movement and ease, echoing a decade when everyday rituals merged with a fascination for modern detail and expressive design. These glasses can be paired with simple clear decanters or colorful ceramics from the 1970s and 1980s to highlight their retro-modernist character. They would work well on a low living room table, accompanied by geometric serving trays or metallic platters, where the cobalt shade contrasts with a neutral background. Consider combining them with minimalist accents or understated textiles to enhance the depth of color and the sculptural quality of the stems—whether in a curated collector’s interior or during intimate gatherings with friends.
