Serve you wine, brandy, limoncello, dessert liquor, or any other sip-worthy-beverage with this gorgeous authentic hand blown and hand painted 24kt gold Murano Glass pitcher set. The set includes one very tall decanter and 4 cordial drinking glasses. Your guests with feel regal as the tall Italian and classically Venetian decanter pours into their luxe goblets. The set is in the highly desirable and collectable shade of amber and features hand-painted enamel flowers along with rich 24 karat gold decoration in a style called "Tre Fuochi" or "Three Flames". This style used to be all the rage in nineteenth-century Europe. It is still very popular today but only a few distinguished glass masters on Murano still make it. The craftsmanship needed to craft these pieces in a complex three-stage process is amazing. Murano artisans first blow and shape molten glass, then use hot-applique to add enamel and real gold leaf, and finally fire the glass for the third time to solidify the design. The striking set will bring the Italian tradition of fine dining and old-world European glamour to your home. The decanter has it's original glass topper and the bases of all pieces have a beautiful gold rim detailing.

Condition: Because each Murano Glass piece is a handcrafted work of art and due to the unique features of the glass-making technique, some variations of colors and patterns may occur. This is a sign of the authenticity and of the special value of Murano Glass, where two items can never be made exactly the same. All pieces in this set are great condition with only very very minor wear to the gold. No cracks or chips.
