Heres is a stylish set of 12 hand-hammered American sterling silver cocktail glasses. They have long stems and the elegance of their nicely-proportioned shapes has been accentuated by the unusual, and nicely-crafted, hand-hammering. This ripples pleasingly across the surfaces of the bowls and the bases, causing a gently-shimmering effect which is extremely attractive. A discreetly incised line encircling each base is the only other decorative touch, the pleasing shapes and the craftsmanship of the hammering having already made a distinctive design statement and rendering further embellishments to be unnecessary. The set is in perfect condition with a softly gleaming patina and it would make a smart and snazzy addition to any social gathering. The bases of each piece have been clearly stamped with a pattern number, the symbol of the International Silver Co. of Meriden, CT. and the words International, Sterling and Hand hammered. Each glass stands approx. 5 1/4" tall and measures approx. 2 3/4" in diameter at the top. Drink up, Cheers!   Price: $1,950.00 set of 12   Stock #BA332
