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.
