1930s Madrid Amber Sherbet Set of 6
$52.99
Vintage Set of 6 Federal Glass Madrid Pattern Sherbet Cups. They measure about 2.25" in height with a 4.25" opening. 5 are in excellent condition, one has a tiny chip.
This coordinated set of six footed sherbet cups is a glowing example of Depression-era elegance, produced by the Federal Glass Company as part of the iconic Madrid collection. Dating back to the 1930s, these vessels feature the celebrated "lacy" pattern, where delicate molded scrolls and botanical flourishes wrap around the wide, flared bowls. The warm amber hue, characteristic of authentic pre-war production, radiates a honey-toned brilliance that was designed to bring a touch of luxury to the American dinner table during challenging times. Each cup is supported by a short, sturdy stem and a broad base, providing a balanced silhouette that is as functional as it is decorative.
These versatile dishes are perfect for serving chilled desserts, fruit, or even champagne in a Contemporary or Mid-Century setting. The rich amber glass adds an inviting warmth to a Country and Farmhouse table, pairing beautifully with natural wood and linen. Five of the cups remain in excellent condition, maintaining their original luster and crisp mold lines. One cup in the set features a small chip on the rim, a common sign of its nearly century-long history as a piece of utility glassware. Whether used for a vintage-inspired dinner party or displayed as a cohesive collection of 1930s history, this set offers a charming and tangible connection to the golden age of American molded glass.
This item is vintage, approximately 90 years old. All measurements are close but approximate. I measure in quarter inches.
