| Description: | Beautiful blown glass, Italian/Czech/Slovak
chess set. Reproduction (of original Italian set) by Elizabeth Gann in 2014. The pieces are hand blown in the Czech Republic by master glass blower Vladimir Zubrican; the Baroque style white and orange-colored pieces sit atop brass and turned wood pedestals reproducing an historical design.
Fantastic blown glass globes mounted on beautifully crafted and stained wooden stems with heavy, beautifully designed round metal bases. One side amber color with gold-plated color bases the other white globes mounted with silver-plated color bases. The chess pieces are also Murano-Venetian glass crafted on top of the globes in breath-taking style.
Pieces are very large and display best on a 3" x 3" squares board. Small variations given the hand crafted nature of this fine set.
Perfect condition except for tight crack on one side of dark Queen. Nothing structural.
