Service for 4, luminous aquamarine art glass wine glasses distinguished by finely ribbed vertical optic grooves that create striking light diffusion across the bowl. The sculptural cylindrical cups sit on slender stems and broad circular bases, producing a balanced architectural silhouette. The translucent blue glass intensifies under light and emits a vivid glow under 365nm ultraviolet illumination, revealing uranium content in the glass composition. The combination of color, ribbed texture, and elegant stem form gives the set strong visual presence whether used for entertaining or displayed as decorative glass.
Attribution & Period
Unmarked decorative arts example. The pressed optic ribbing, streamlined cylindrical bowl, and minimal stem profile are consistent with decorative glass tableware produced during the 1970s. No factory mark observed and no documented manufacturer identified; attribution remains visual rather than documented based on the glass composition, molded ribbed texture, and overall design language typical of late 20th-century decorative glassware.
Dimensions & Weight
Height: 7.75 in
Width / Diameter: 3.25 in (mouth)
Depth / Base Diameter: 2.75 in
Weight: 1.956 lbs. (combined weight of set)
Condition
Excellent condition. No observed chips, cracks, or repairs. Light base wear consistent with careful handling. The vertical lines across the exterior are molded grooves that protrude slightly and create intentional tactile texture rather than wear or scratching. Glass remains bright and clear and fluoresces strongly under 365nm UV light.
Authenticity & Construction
Pressed uranium glass with molded optic ribbing. The vertical grooves are formed directly in the mold during production and continue uniformly around the bowl, producing a tactile surface and optical diffusion effect. The bowls transition into drawn stems and circular bases typical of mass-produced decorative stemware of the period. Uranium content in the glass matrix causes the material to fluoresce vividly when exposed to ultraviolet light.
Placement
Ideal for a curated bar cart, illuminated display shelf, or sculptural table setting. The vivid blue tone and ribbed surface interact dramatically with directional lighting, and the UV reactivity makes them particularly striking in dim interiors or under accent lighting. They also pair visually with similarly colored art glass pitchers or serving pieces for a cohesive decorative grouping.
STANDARD ATTRIBUTION & VALUE DISCLOSURE; This piece is described to the best of current scholarly and market knowledge. Any maker or regional attribution is based on visual analysis, materials, construction techniques, and documented stylistic comparisons. As with many MCM and antique design objects, definitive attribution may not be possible without original labels or factory records. Pricing reflects condition, quality, decorative appeal, and current collector demand rather than guaranteed maker identification.
