Antique set of six drinking glasses in emerald green satin glass. Each glass has a gilt rim and hand-painted raised enamel decoration in the Art Nouveau / Jugendstil style. The pieces are unmarked but likely Bohemian, an area encompassing present day parts of Germany, Hungary, and the Czech Republic.

Colorful Bohemian glassware reached the peak of its popularity for export during the final quarter of the 19th century. Bohemian and Czech glassmakers including Moser, Loetz, Harrach, and Kralik decorated their colored glass designs with hand-painted enamels, echoing the golden motifs decorating this glassware set.

The glasses are in very good condition with just a few minor spots of wear in keeping with their age. The glasses are 5 in. H and hold 10 fl. oz. As they were decorated by hand, the ornament varies slightly from glass to glass; one glass is missing a leaf that appears on the others.
