Set of 10 vintage rare Culver “Empress” Highball Glasses, marked "© Culver, Ltd." in gold cursive. This large set is ready to create warm new memories thanks to its brilliant contrast of lapis and apple green with its raised and subtly-crackled 22K gold bands.

Culver Ltd. was a glass company famous for its stunning decorative glassware.
Founded in Brooklyn, New York in 1939, Culver Glass features real 22-karat gold decoration used effusively and magnificently especially from the late 1950s through the 1960s. The company gained notoriety and its products became highly collectible and
only sold at high-end department stores.

The company’s early production line featured acid-etch, decalcomania, sandblasted, hand-painted, banded, sand-cut monogramming, and silkscreen. In the late 1950s,
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.
