Lot 744: A Trio of Cut and Etched Crystal Decanters
A large hand-blown art glass vessel designed in the form of an oversized brandy snifter, crafted in a deep petrol blue glass. The piece features a characteristic mid-century modern aesthetic with a bulbous body tapering to a wide mouth, supported by a short stem on a circular foot. While the form is in the style of glassware produced by manufacturers such as Blenko during the 1960s, there are no maker’s marks, signatures, or etched stamps present on the piece to confirm a specific factory attribution. The base shows typical manufacturing characteristics of hand-blown glass with a smooth circular foot. The item includes a handwritten dealer’s label marked 3442 1960s Retro Green Brandy Snifter, although the glass appears as a petrol blue or teal colour under standard lighting. It also bears an auction lot tag numbered 745.
