This set of five tall glasses, produced in Italy in the 1980s, embodies the minimalist approach to utilitarian glassware characteristic of the era. Each glass is crafted from cobalt blue glass that gradually transitions to clear at the top, creating a cool, modern gradient. The silhouette is gently tapered with a thick, stable base, and the smooth, glossy surface accentuates the brilliance of the material. Each piece is adorned with a hand-engraved, frosted floral motif that contrasts delicately with the polished glass. The construction is seamless, with no visible joints or decorative applications, reflecting the late 20th-century Italian design ethos. The set is in good condition—there are only minor signs of use, such as light scratches, with no major damage or repairs, and the engravings remain crisp and authentic.Italian glassware from the 1980s tells a story of a time when form was meant to harmonize with everyday rituals. The cobalt blue at the base of each glass evokes memories of summer evenings, as light filters through the engraved flowers, casting subtle shadows across the table. The minimalist shape and hand-engraved details transform an ordinary drink into a small ceremony—a daily object becomes a vessel for the mood of an era when attention to detail was central to Italian design.This set may be used for serving classic cocktails or lemon water at an elegant dinner. They pair well with simple, modern white porcelain plates or a geometrically shaped carafe. In interiors with a collector’s, eclectic spirit, as well as mid-century modern arrangements, these glasses add a discreet touch of color. They could be combined with other late 1970s and 1980s pieces, such as steel trays or minimalist candleholders, to highlight their subtle pedigree and lightness of form.
