THIS SPECTACULAR VINTAGE VENETIAN COBALT BLUE GLASS LIQUEUR DECANTER SET WITH SIX GLASSES HAS BEEN MAGNIFICENTLY DECORATED IN SILVER OVERLAY. THE SILVER OVERLAY OR SILVER DEPOSIT AS IT IS SOMETIMES CALLED IS IN FACT REAL SILVER USED IN THE ELECTROPLATING TECHNIQUE. THE DESIGN OF THE DECANTER AND GLASSES IS STUNNINGLY FINISHED WITH SILVER GILDING AROUND THE RIM AND BASES OF THE DECANTER AND GLASSES, AS WELL AS THE TOP OF THE GLASS STOPPER. THE DECANTER MEASURES 23.5cm TALL AND THE GLASSES ARE 4.5cm TALL. THERE IS VERY MINOR USAGE WEAR AND TEAR AND SOME TARNISHING AND THE NECK OF THE DECANTER HAS BEEN REPAIRED, BUT THERE ARE NO CHIPS OR CRACKS IN THE GLASSES. THIS IS A MAGNIFICENT SET.
