Vintage 1950s/60s set of four glasses with blue and white art deco designs sourced in the Chettinad district of Tamil Nadu, South India. Each tumbler has a different geometric design, giving the set a cool individuality. The glass with blue squares around the base has the letters ‘sdc’ in a triangle on the base. The glass with four blue bands around the base, and the glass behind to the right in the picture are Yera. This was an Indian brand launched in 1958 by the Alembic group that was founded in 1907. Alembic is one of the oldest industrial houses in India, and its glass business was set up because India’s requirement of glass bottles was being met by imports from Europe. The Second World War caused an abrupt break in the supply chain. As a result, Alembic had no bottles to package its pharmaceutical products ad so developed and produced its own by 1948, going on into other glassware later and still produces to this day. The fourth glass has no markings. In good condition with no chips or scratches.
