Facet cut port wine glasses

Sold

Height 10.5 cm.
Unusually cut port wine glass from the late 1800s.


This style of decor is most often seen on colored glass vases, allowing the facets in a cross cut to create a little reflection for the light. We have not seen drinking glasses this way before.

The glass is mouth blown with a cracked and polished top edge. Its stem is reversed baluster-shaped and with a big molex to the foot, which is leveled.

It is in good condition though with some air bubbles in the glass mass. There might be a few micro nods at the drinking edge, this is from the production where the glass is cut off.
