Facet cut water glasses

Sold

Height 10 cm.
Unusually cut water 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 decored this way before.

The glass is mouth blown with a cracked and polished top edge.
It is in good condition though with some air bubbles in the glass mass.
