A set of 4 antique handblown tall tumblers, gilded with enamelled initials; second half of the nineteenth century, likely French.

Slender handblown tumblers with thin walls and thick bases, in two pairs; two slightly shorter with a more rounded base, and two slightly taller with a sharper-edged base. They are quite heavy at around 300g each and appear to be made of lead crystal.

All the glasses are enamelled with a shield surrounded by oak leaves and acorns, and bearing an elaborate initial in relief. The initials as well as the rim are gilded. The two shorter glasses bear the initial "A", the two taller, "H". Al the glasses have a hand-etched mark at "1/4 L".

By the style, as well as the relatively early use of litres, they are likely to be French.

In very good condition commensurate with age. One of the "H" glasses has 1 chip ca. 3mm and another <1mm to the rim; these don´t stand out. Gilding has some light wear, and one of the "A" letters is missing much of the gilding. Other than that no defects of significance.

See photographs as they form an integral part of the condition description; happy to send more upon request.
