Set of 3 interstellar satin glasses with bubble stem, Italy, 1970s.
Rounded forms, curved edges, a satin-frozen finished surface reminiscent of ice, and a bubble in the stem — like an air bubble trapped inside a ice block. Evoking the frozen silence of distant planets and the crystalline stillness of interstellar ice, these glasses belong to a different orbit — a vision of domestic ritual suspended in space and time.
This very rare design not only showcases the artisan's skill but also adds a playful touch to the glassware. The surface is satin-finished, lending a soft, matte glow and a pleasing tactile sensation that elevates the drinking experience into a sensory ritual.
Crafted with attention to detail, the satin finish offers a soft texture that contrasts beautifully with the clarity of the bubble in the stem. With their pure, spherical forms and suspended air bubbles, these glasses reflect a playful language infused with a futuristic, Space Age spirit. It is precisely this tension between simplicity and futuristic imagination that makes them so captivating to the contemporary eye and collector alike.
If you're packing for an interstellar journey, these glasses are your cosmic essentials.
