Description

  • Reuben Haley
  • “Ruba Rombic” Service
  • molded glass
comprising a serving bowl and five goblets

Condition

Overall in good condition. When viewed in person, the glass presents with a bright emerald green, even more intense than in the catalogue illustration. This is an assembled set and one of the goblets is slightly bigger than the other four. The glass with a few minor irregularities, air bubbles and particulate inclusions inherent in the making and not visually distracting. The edges with a few minor to minute flecks consistent with gentle handling. A few minor and very sensitively executed restorations along the upper edges of the pieces, only visible upon close inspection. A very decorative set, which epitomizes cubism inspiration on design.
