Vintage 1960s Culver Carnival Shot Glasses Turquoise 22K Gold MCM Barware Set 8

This set of eight vintage Culver “Carnival” shot glasses showcases a bold Mid-Century Modern design in turquoise blue and metallic gold. Each clear glass features a geometric checkerboard pattern of crackle-textured gold squares and teal starburst medallions, a look closely associated with 1960s barware. Thick, weighted bases and a slightly tapered silhouette give them a substantial yet classic cocktail feel.

The vibrant metallic accents and atomic-inspired motif reflect the glamour and cocktail culture of the period. Ideal for whiskey, tequila, or liqueurs, this coordinated set adds authentic retro character to any bar cart and remains a favorite among vintage Culver collectors.
