Marilyn : Mid-Century Modern
Marilyn Presents
Original Presentation Script
This appears to be a set of four Italian Sorrento souvenir shot glasses, likely ceramic, with printed lemon decoration and the name “Gioia Luigi.” The clean uniform construction and glossy finish suggest late 20th- or early 21st-century commercial production rather than an antique. Condition looks good with no obvious chips in the visible view. Conservative auction value would be about $20 to $50 for the set if offered as a souvenir group.
