Set of Four Vintage Cobalt Blue Glass Cups with Lobed Rim
Set of Four Vintage Cobalt Blue Glass Cups with Lobed Rim
Set of four petite vintage cobalt blue glass cups dating to the late 20th century. Each piece features a compact, rounded, softly globular body that narrows toward the base and rests on a raised circular foot. The rim has a gently lobed, undulating finish, with a sequence of soft curves reminiscent of flower petals.
This combination of rounded volume, lobed rim and pedestal foot was characteristic of decorative tableware and objects produced during the second half of the 20th century, particularly pieces designed to transform everyday vessels into visually appealing objects. The form allows the cobalt blue color to stand out with depth and intensity, creating a luminous and distinctive presence.
Their petite scale differentiates these cups from traditional large dessert bowls. They can be used to serve small portions of ice cream, sorbet, fruit, nuts, chocolates, sweets or individual accompaniments. They may also be used to display small floral arrangements, cut flowers, buds or other decorative elements.
Their raised form and rich color also make them versatile decorative objects. Arranged together on a dining table, tray, console or bar, they create a strong and cohesive color composition. Used individually, they add small accents of color and light, and can be combined with other blue glass pieces in varying shades and heights.
The lobed profile softens the geometry of the rounded body, while the raised foot gives each cup a sense of lightness and allows it to stand out individually. The set is appealing both for table use and for decorative display, particularly in interiors featuring vintage glass, colorful objects or retro-inspired arrangements.
Offered as a set of four petite vintage cobalt blue glass cups with globular bodies, lobed rims and raised circular feet.
