Description

This set of iridescent pressed glassware is attributed to Imperial Glass in the Imperial Grape pattern, dating from the early to mid-20th century.

The decorative motif features high-relief clusters of grapes and broad vine leaves set against a densely stippled background.

The tumblers feature a rayed starburst pattern on the underside of the base.
