A collection of blue glassware comprising a variety of forms in cobalt and turquoise tones. The group features a lidded comport in deep cobalt blue glass, designed with a clear glass baluster stem and a wide circular foot. The bowl and lid are finished with clear glass rigaree trailed decoration to the rims, and the lid is surmounted by a clear glass flower form finial. Also included is a large cobalt blue centerpiece bowl with a frosted or matte exterior finish and a polished interior, supported by a thick pedestal base. A small circular white label is adhered to the base, though the characters are not legible as a name or manufacturer. The lot further contains a set of cut to clear cobalt crystal items, featuring four wine glasses and a mallet shaped decanter with a faceted spire stopper. These pieces are decorated with a diamond and fan pattern above vertical mitre cuts, set on clear faceted stems. Completing the group is a cylindrical pitcher in vibrant turquoise glass with an applied handle and flared rim. No manufacturer marks or signatures were identified during inspection.
