Vintage from the 1960s – Super Rare Find – Collector’s Item
Spanish Glassware – Mid-Century Barware – Sculptural Enamel Elegance
Origin:
An extraordinary mid-century modern glassware set, believed to originate from high-end European design traditions, circa 1960s. This rare ensemble features a thick-walled black enamel bottle with a matching fitted stopper, accompanied by five matching glasses. What makes it particularly exceptional is the absence of manganese in the enamel — a rare characteristic that causes the glass to glow red instead of purple when light penetrates the core. The bottle’s stopper is marked with a hand-painted “20”, and every piece in the set features precisely ground edges and surfaces, attesting to the high craftsmanship.
Condition:
Excellent vintage condition. No chips, cracks, or visible damage. The surfaces remain clean and robust, with subtle signs of age that only enhance its authenticity and allure.
Size:
• Bottle Height: ~19 cm
• Bottle Width: ~10 cm
• Set includes: 1 bottle with stopper + 5 matching glasses
Details:
This sculptural black glass set is almost opaque, with a rich, inky finish that exudes mystery and refinement. When held to the light, a single red filament glows from the base — a mesmerizing detail for collectors and connoisseurs. Its geometric silhouette, minimalist form, and weighty construction make it a statement piece for any bar cart or design-focused interior.
Perfect for:
• Mid-century glass collectors & design enthusiasts
• Sophisticated barware and cocktail setups
• Styling in modern, moody, or high-contrast interiors
• A unique gift for lovers of rare finds
