LIQUEUR SET WITH PIERCED STERLING SILVER OVERLAY JAPAN, MID–20TH CENTURY

A unique Japanese liqueur set combining the transparent lightness of glass with exquisite filigree craftsmanship in 950 sterling silver. The ensemble consists of a tall decanter with stopper, eight shot glasses, two tumblers, and three condiment items (salt shaker, pepper shaker, and spouted cruet), all arranged on the original round tray. Each piece is adorned with a decorative silver overlay in a pierced openwork technique depicting blossoming cherry branches – a favourite motif in Japanese art, symbolizing the fleeting beauty of life. The ornament is delicately cut and mounted onto the glass, creating a striking contrast between transparent volume and textured silver surface.
