Eight Vintage Cocktail Sticks with Glass Heads and Figural Toppers
This lot comprises eight vintage cocktail sticks, each with a clear glass shaft and a decorative glass finial. The group includes round heads in green, amber and red, alongside figural toppers modelled as a blue and white cockerel, a red dragon-like creature, a red and orange parrot and a yellow duck. The heads appear to be hand-formed and the shafts taper to fine points, a typical feature of mid-twentieth-century barware. The variety of colours and motifs makes this an appealing set for display or for use at a themed gathering.
Condition, Originality and Collector Appeal
From the photograph, the sticks appear to be in good visible condition, with no obvious chips to the glass heads or fractures to the shafts. The figural pieces show their original colour and detailing, and the group reads as a cohesive set. Items of this kind are sought after by collectors of vintage barware, cocktail accessories and novelty glassware, particularly where the figures are well defined and the colours remain strong. Buyers are encouraged to view the photographs carefully and to make enquiries before bidding, as glass pieces of this age can show small wear that is not always apparent in images.
