Description
Beautiful, matched pair of vintage Dirilyte champagne coupes (also known as tall sherbets or dessert cups) in the highly sought-after Empress pattern. Developed originally in Sweden, Dirilyte is a unique, solid bronze alloy known for its warm, gold-like color that is consistent throughout the metal, meaning there is no plating to wear off.
The Empress pattern is a masterpiece of Mid-Century Modern (MCM) design, featuring a sleek, minimalist bowl and an elegant tapered stem. This set comes in its original presentation box, which bears the crowned "E" emblem—the specific hallmark for the Empress line. Whether you are a collector of fine vintage barware or looking for the perfect wedding or anniversary gift, these pieces offer a timeless, regal aesthetic.
