Rare set of Art Deco style sterling silver cocktail glasses of the period. The stepped circular bases are a distinctive Art Deco motif and the classic wide bowl is perfect for serving cocktails that are shaken or stirred - Martini, Sidecar, Gimlet, Manhattan or Daiquiri.

Art Deco was the popular design style spreading across Europe in the 1920s and 1930s and characterised especially by sleek geometric or stylised forms. It represented luxury, glamour, exuberance, and faith in social and technological progress. For that reason silver cocktail and barware were popular categories of goods to reflect the style of the time.
