The glasses and carafe are decorated with Press’ sun block pattern featuring white oval sunbursts in 22-karat gold squares and rectangles. Each piece cries out to be touched. This will make the perfect small cocktail set in your dry bar or for your sitting room or bedside table. Fred Press was born in 1919 soon after his parents immigrated to the US from Russia.

He was a painter and sculpture and many of his works have garnered critical acclaim and awards and he has pieces held in museum collections.
