Founded in Brooklyn, New York in 1939, Culver Industries is the premier purveyor of decorated glassware for retail establishments. The original vintage 22 karat gold patterns of Culver are extensive - from gilded mushrooms, owls, cats, Egyptian and Asian inspired design themes, scrolling leaf patterns, holiday designs, sports motifs and many others. The gilded Moroccan-style trellis and raised emerald green diamonds of the Valencia pattern became their most popular pattern in cocktail ware.

The company’s early production line featured acid etch, decalcomania, sandblasted, hand-painted, banded, sand-cut monogramming and silk screen. In the late 1950’s, Culver Ltd started the application of the 22-karat gold to their glassware.   The super-heated, roll-on process of gold remains a secret today. By the 1980’s, Culver stopped making its own glass and began using glassware ‘blanks’ produced by other companies.

Culver glass from the 1940’s through the ’50s are signed with a script Culver. The Culver mark changed to block lettering in the late 1960’s through the 1970’s. Culver glass after the 1970s are typically unmarked today because the company changed to paper labels attached to the glass. These vintage Culver designs are highly collectible and remain popular today.

Set is in great vintage condition! The usual light surface wear to finish, design and do show gold rub consistent from age here and there plus smaller whiskey glass has a chip to rim that can be filed or not included with collection from years of helping Madge keep the the sizzle in her basement bar & lounge booming, but nothing that distracts from this wonderful collection of mid mod cocktail history. Please see enlarged pics for best description and details.
