royal blue glass (hand blown) either real or sterling silver, turquoise stones. The goblets are about 5" tall and the decanter is a little over 12" tall with the stopper in. I received this about 40 years ago when my husband's sister visited us from Iran and brought this as a gift.

What does this mean?

Dear Susie,

Thank you for your request. How many goblets or glasses does the set have? One picture I can see 5 glasses but normally these sets have 6 glasses. Thank you.

With best regards,
Georg

if you did not receive my reply email I have 6 goblets. The one thing I don't know is if it is sterling silver or actual silver.

Dear Susie,

Persian silver is usually marked. You did not see any hallmarks?

With kind regards,
Georg

where would I look for that. there is so much engraving everywhere on the silver I would not know what to look for. I guess I could take it to a jeweler and they could just tell me.

Hi Georg, are you still appraising?

Dear Susie,

Thank you for the additional images and your patience. Sadly regarding technical problems, your message was not displayed. I apologize for the delay. The presented object is a glass set of a bottle with 6 goblets. The single pieces were made out of a blue glass which is mounted in silver. We see no silver hallmarks but the corrosion and the often use in Persia for silver decors make this conclusion very probable. The silver is decorated with typical Persian ornaments and turquoise stones. This piece was made as a present in the second half of the 20th century.
This piece is in good condition and there are no serious damages visible.
An estimation would be between 80 to 160 USD.
This estimation is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and vary.

With best regards,
Georg
