An extensive assortment of 20th-century glassware presented in two polystyrene storage trays. The group features a set of tumblers decorated in a mid-century modern atomic-style pattern, consisting of overlapping red, blue, and green circles interspersed with wavy gold-coloured lines and dots. These specific pieces bear the embossed mark FRANCE on the base, a mark frequently used by French manufacturers such as Luminarc (J.G. Durand). The collection also includes several glasses with various thicknesses of gold-coloured horizontal banding, wine glasses with delicate pink and white floral transfer designs and gilded rims, and glassware featuring solid-coloured bases in shades of amber, emerald green, and amethyst. Additionally, there are clear pressed and cut glass items, including fluted champagne glasses and tumblers with ribbed or textured bases.
