A collection of decorative coloured and mosaic glassware and bar accessories comprising five oversized blown glass vases in the style of brandy balloons, five pieces of mosaic glass tableware, and a set of six cocktail picks in a metal stand. The five thin-walled glass vessels are finished in vibrant tones of ruby red, cobalt blue, emerald green, olive green, and amber. The amber-coloured vessel is distinguished by a clear glass twisted stem and a circular foot, while the remaining four feature plain stems with central knops. The mosaic glass component consists of one large flared vase and four spherical vessels suitable for use as tealight holders or small bowls, each decorated with iridescent square glass tesserae in shades of amber, red, and gold, set within a dark compound and finished with metallic rims. The bar accessories include a silver-toned metal cylindrical stand containing six decorative cocktail picks, each finished with a conical metal cap and multi-coloured glass beads in red, blue, green, and yellow, held in place by wire-wrapped detailing. No manufacturer marks or signatures are visible on any of the items.
