This decanter I received as a present from Carlos last Christmas (Do you remember this post? http://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/41826-this-years-christmas-presents?in=user). In factwe bought it together in what was one of the best stores for glassware and pottery in the Madrid of the 1950s.

A month or so later I went back in search of any matching glasses and there they were: 5 sample glasses waiting for me at the ridiculous price of 15 euros for the whole lot. Of course I got them! Unfortunately one of them broke while washing it... the stem is so thin it took a little clumsy movement of my fingers to break it in two.

I hope I'll find the remaing glasses some time soon, but meanwhileI lovelooking at this incomplete set... so beautiful!

    Thanks Bellin. I don't have much literature about the subject but will try and look for them in my books when I'm home. So far I don't know what they can be, but let's see if the books can tell something :)
