Set of six Italian tumblers with coloured bases, asymmetric form, 1980s

A set of six Italian tumblers from the 1980s, featuring an asymmetrical form that challenges the conventions of traditional tableware glass. Each tumbler has a clear upper section and a coloured base in a different hue, ranging from deep violet to green, blue, and warm amber tones. The set exemplifies a design approach where functionality meets artistic expression. The slender, elongated silhouette makes these glasses ideal for cocktails, lemonades, or water with citrus. The deliberate asymmetry, with a slightly angled wall, gives each tumbler a unique character. The coloured base provides an optical anchor and casts subtle chromatic reflections through beverages. The transition between tinted and clear zones is gradual. Italian glassmaking in the 1980s combined traditional techniques with modern design, using colour as a structural element. These tumblers, nearly 14 cm tall and 7 cm in diameter, are suitable for everyday use or formal settings. The six different base colours help guests identify their glasses. The tumblers are in good condition with no significant flaws and are ready for use.
