Vintage, from the 1970’s
These ornate glass tumblers with dragon-shaped handles are reminiscent of traditional Turkish tea glasses, known as 'ince belli' (thin-waisted). These glasses are designed to be held by the rim, as the tea is served hot, and the metal holders provide both insulation and a decorative element. The dragon motif is often found in decorative arts from various cultures, including those influenced by Eastern aesthetics.
Metal holders for tea glasses have been popular in Turkey and surrounding regions for centuries, evolving in design from simple to highly elaborate. The use of gold plating and intricate metalwork, such as the coiled dragon handle, suggests a piece intended for display or special occasions.
