A rare and exceptionally charming set of five antique shot glasses (napsiklaasid) produced by the renowned Johannes Lorup Glassworks in Tallinn, Estonia, during the 1930s.
Known affectionately among Baltic collectors as “mummulised pitsid” (bobble-stemmed glasses), this design is documented in the historic Lorup archives as Form No. 1026. The set features elegant clear bowls beautifully balanced on vibrant, playful stacked-bubble stems in a lovely assortment of period-correct colours: rich amber, warm orange, and delicate pink.
