Set … more Beautiful Vintage Textured 22k gold Culver Highball Glasses with a Fruit Motif - Pear, Apple, Grapes & Pineapple design. Set of 7. Total throwback to the 50's & 60's & 70's. The makers mark dates the glasses to 1970 or before.

In my attempt to date these glasses, I came upon the website Mullard.org which provided this information about Culver Glass & provided the information for dating the glasses:

“Culver Glassware was founded in Brooklyn, NY (as most good things are:)) in the 1930’s…later on they moved to beautiful downtown Rahway, New Jersey:) Known for lavish designs and the use of 22 and 24 Karat Gold over those designs, they gained notoriety and became highly collectible. Sadly…the founder’s son, Mark Rothenberg ran the company until 1996, when it was sold. At that point he headed another glassware company, briefly, until his untimely death on 9/11. Mr. Rothenberg was one of the passengers on the hijacked Newark to San Francisco flight that crashed in Pennsylvania.” less
