Venetian glassmaking, particularly from Murano, has a centuries-old tradition renowned for vibrant color, artistry, and technical skill. During the Art Deco era, glassmakers embraced stylized natural forms and decorative techniques such as silver overlay to enhance everyday glassware with artistic appeal. Silver overlay involves applying a thin layer of silver to the glass surface, which is then etched or engraved to form the design. This technique adds refined detail while keeping the pieces functional and visually striking. The deep amethyst hue was especially popular during the early 20th century, lending an air of luxury and drama to table settings. These tumblers work beautifully as cocktail glasses, water tumblers, or display pieces and are highly appealing to collectors of Art Deco and Venetian glass. ⸻ Details • Origin: Venetian / Murano style • Material: Amethyst-colored glass with silver overlay • Pattern: Botanical / leaf motif • Quantity: Set of 4 tumblers • Era: Art Deco, c. 1920s–1930s • Use: Tumblers, cocktail glasses, or display ⸻ Measurements (approx.) • Height: ~4 ¾ inches • Rim Diameter: ~3 ¼ inches • Base Diameter: ~2 ¼ inches ⸻ Condition Very good vintage condition.
