A striking vintage cobalt blue glass demitasse service comprising fifteen pieces, including ten footed espresso cups and five matching saucers. Executed in richly saturated cobalt blue glass, the service embodies the bold color palette and clean modern forms that defined much of the decorative glass production of the mid-to-late twentieth century. Each cup features a distinctive faceted lower body rising to a smooth cylindrical bowl, creating an elegant geometric profile while showcasing the remarkable depth and brilliance of the cobalt glass. The matching saucers are molded with concentric rings that complement the cups and enhance the visual appeal of the ensemble. Cobalt glass has long been prized for its jewel-like luminosity and timeless aesthetic, making it a favorite among collectors and designers alike. Whether used for serving espresso, Turkish coffee, or displayed as an eye-catching decorative grouping, this vibrant service offers both functional appeal and striking visual impact. Offered as a fifteen-piece grouping consisting of ten cobalt blue footed demitasse cups and five matching saucers. An attractive addition to any collection of vintage art glass or modernist tabletop design.

  • Condition: Very good vintage condition. The glass presents well with light surface wear, including minor scratches and signs of careful use consistent with age.
