Set of Eight Vintage Culver Double Old Fashioned Glasses, in the “Antigue” pattern, with applied 22k gold.
Culver Ltd. was a glass company famous for their stunning decorative glassware.
Founded in Brooklyn, New York in 1939, Culver Glass features real 22-karat gold decoration used effusively and magnificently especially from the late 1950s through the 1960s. The company gained notoriety and its products became highly collectible and
only sold at high-end department stores.
The company’s early production line featured acid-etch, decalcomania, sandblasted, hand-painted, banded, sand-cut monogramming and silk screen. In the late 1950’s,
Culver Ltd. started the application of the 22-karat gold to their glassware.
The super-heated, roll-on process of gold remains a secret today.
