<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SBSVC, post: 120716, member: 136&quot;]When I got married in <b>1978</b>, DH&#039;s best friend&#039;s parents sent us this wine set: one 11&quot; tall pitcher with six (5 1/2&quot; tall) matching glasses.</p><p><br /></p><p>These people were an absolutely lovely couple, both of them born &amp; raised in Italy, and I know they considered this a <i>very </i>special gift - as did we. (In truth, that is the <u>only</u> reason I have held onto this set for so long. Let&#039;s just say that it has <u>never</u>, in 38 years, been out of its original box - until now.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is the box (!):</p><p>[ATTACH=full]30598[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>To be honest, I had always remembered the set as being made of some sort of ceramic, but having recently unearthed &amp; opened the box (which was still sealed from our <b>1996</b> move...) I now realize that it is glass.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, I know the set is from 1978, and I know it was made in Italy. Can anyone provide any other info about it? Here are some photos:</p><p><br /></p><p>the 11&quot; tall, handled pitcher:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]30599[/ATTACH]</p><p>Note that the gold trim work is raised.</p><p><br /></p><p>Inside, then bottom of pitcher:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]30600[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]30601[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The cups:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]30606[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Inside, then bottom of cups:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]30604[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]30605[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Any thoughts?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks so much!</p><p>-C-[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
