  • Materials & Style: The collection is crafted from opaque black glass, frequently identified as black amethyst because it appears a deep, dark purple when held up to a strong light source. The aesthetic aligns with Hollywood Regency and Art Deco revival styles.
  • Composition: The set features approximately 37 pieces (based on standard large collections) across several functional shapes:
    • Wine Goblets: Tall stems with rounded, "teardrop" or "tulip" shaped bowls.
    • Champagne Flutes: Sleek, narrow vessels for sparkling beverages.
    • Cocktail/Sherbet Coupes: Wider, shallower bowls on shorter stems, used for cocktails or desserts.
  • Potential Manufacturers: While often unmarked, similar high-quality black glassware from this period was produced by makers such as Libbey (notably the "Teardrop" line), Mikasa, Toscany, and Carico (Tivoli Black pattern).
