Long Description
This set includes 6 wine glasses and 8 on-the-rocks glasses. They have a very pretty gold design with green glass diamonds. I have been told they are by Culver but I can't find any markins to verify this. There are randomly missing diamonds and the gold overlay is offset on some glasses. The gold if very bright, not like the usual gold-foiling found on most glasses. From my understanding, Culver used 18-24 karat gold for this style and other sets which are definately Culver also have missing diamonds. My main concer is the offset of the gold on some classes. The glasses themselves are in very good condition. A couple of the rocks glasses have very monir chips on the bottom rim, otherwise they are perfect.
