Founded in Brooklyn, New York in 1939,
Culver Industries is the premier purveyor of decorated glassware for retail establishments.
The original vintage 22 karat gold patterns of Culver are extensive - from gilded
mushrooms, owls, cats, Egyptian and Asian inspired design themes, scrolling leaf patterns,
holiday designs, sports motifs and many others. The gilded Moroccan-style
trellis and raised emerald green diamonds of the Valencia pattern became their most popular pattern in cocktail ware.The company’s early production line featured acid etch, decalcomania,
sandblasted, hand-painted, banded, sand-cut monogramming and silk
screen. In the late 1950’s, Culver Ltd started the application of the
22-karat gold to their glassware. The super-heated, roll-on process of
gold remains a secret today. By the 1980’s, Culver stopped making its
own glass and began using glassware ‘blanks’ produced by other
companies.
Culver glass from the 1940’s through the ’50s are signed with a
script Culver. The Culver mark changed to block lettering in the late
1960’s through the 1970’s. Culver glass after the 1970s are typically
unmarked today because the company changed to paper labels attached to
the glass. These vintage Culver designs are highly
collectible and remain popular today.
Bowls are in excellent condition! No chips, dings or pings! Look to have been gently used and very well taken care of! The usual light surface wear to finish, design and gold rub consistent from age here and there from years of helping Madge keep the the sizzle in her basement bar & lounge booming, but nothing that distracts from this wonderful collection of mid mod
cocktail history.
