Stunning Antique Scallop Cut Lead Crystal Wine Glasses with Faceted Stems c1820.
Here on offers is a set of stunning antique scallop cut lead crystal wine glasses with facet cut stems c1820.
These gorgeous glasses have been hand blown and cut by a skilled artisan. The bowl is cut with a series of scallop cuts, arranged in a ring around the middle of the bowl, decending to the bowl base becoming hexagonal shaped as they diminish. These facets continue downwards onto the stem, over the knop and continue onto the small collar between the stem and the plain, flat foot. The latter has a central polished pontil.
Each glass has a height of approximately 15cm, with a diameter across the rim of about 6.4cm and across the foot of about 6.5cm. There are minor discrepancies in the dimensions due to the handmade nature of the glasses.
They are in excellent condition, with no chips or cracks.
A gorgeous collectable set.
