Set of glassware, hand painted and 24 carat gold
There are 11 pieces in this set. It was always on a wood shelf but that is not in good shape. These are in exceptional condition, just a little dusty because i am scared to touch them. They have been in my family since i can remember, my mom can remember who would be 80 and came from my great aunt so they are very old and 24 carat gold and hand painted - i have no idea if they are murano but was always told it was italian glass and very old. Pristine condition. 5 inch height, 3 inch depth on glasses
glasses are 4 inches each 5 inch height 3 inch depth
they have been in our family for longer than i can remember and i am 55, my mom had them passed down by great aunt when she was a kid (my mom would have been 80, my great aunt had them as long as she could remember and she would have been 100 - i cant find any markings on them -
