Culver Mardi Grass Highball - Set of 8 - Near Mint

Culver Mardi Grass Highball

One of Culver’s most hard-to-find designs, the Mardi Gras pattern is a truly a treasure in any home bar's collection. Produced in limited quantities from about 1959 to 1962, this striking design — featuring four 22-karat harlequin jesters playing musical instruments adorned with faceted glass beads — stands apart from Culver’s more commonly found patterns. The harlequin motif captures the festive spirit of its namesake celebration. This Double Old Fashioned set of 8 is particularly rare, especially in the near mint condition of the gold gilt and the attached glass jewels.

About the Maker 
Culver Glass Company, founded in 1939 by Irving Rothenberg in Brooklyn, New York, became renowned for its luxurious glassware featuring 22-karat gold. To apply the gold patterns and textures the company used a secret, patented high-heat roll-on process. Culver's iconic designs, from gilded mushrooms, owls, cats, Egyptian and Asian inspired design themes, scrolling leaf patterns and holiday designs, rose in popularity during the mid-20th century. Out of production for decades, Culver glassware is a highly desirable collectable today. It's a special treat to serve guests drinks in this glassware.
