Culver Ltd. Mid-Century Modern Turquoise and Gold Cordial Glass

This is a vintage stemware glass, specifically a cordial or liqueur glass, featuring a distinctive Mid-Century Modern decorative scheme. The glass is crafted from clear soda-lime glass with a conical bowl that tapers down to a short, multi-faceted orb-like stem resting on a flat circular base. The primary aesthetic value lies in the 22-karat gold-encrusted and turquoise enameled banding around the rim. The pattern consists of diamond-shaped turquoise medallions and vertical turquoise bars separated by panels of intricate gold filigree and scrollwork. The rim is finished with a solid gold band. This style is highly indicative of Culver Ltd., a prominent glassware manufacturer from the 1950s-1960s known for their lavish use of gold. The condition appears fair to good; there is visible wear to the gold gilding on the rim and some fading or mineral deposits on the turquoise enamel elements. The glass itself appears free of major chips or cracks, though light surface scratches from use are present. The craftsmanship reflects typical mass-produced decorative glassware of the post-war era, prioritizing bold geometric designs and metallic finishes over crystal clarity.
