Elevate your barware with this complete vintage amethyst and gold cocktail set. Crafted from hand-blown glass in the 1950s–60s era, when colorful glassware lines like West Virginia Glass Specialty’s Blendo were at their peak. This set includes a 1.5 L pitcher and six 250 ml glasses. The rich amethyst purple is paired with a luminous 22-carat gold band, echoing the opulence of Bohemian art‑deco cocktail sets. Each glass features a narrow, hourglass shape with gentle indentations, making them comfortable to hold and visually striking.
