French 19th Century Carafe “Legras”

French 19th Century  Carafe “Legras”

Definition.

Rare antique carafe, made in the 19th century in a French glassworks.

Legras was one of the most famous glassworks that made bottles and decanters for French liqueur brands.

This carafe is made of mouth-blown glass in a wooden mold, with a crystal content to obtain a brighter color.

In the 19th century, glass and crystal were not as pure as what we know today.

The stopper of the bottle is also made of mouth-blown glass

At the bottom of the bottle you can still clearly see the cut-off of the blowpipe.

Very nice unique item for the collectors.

Given its age, a small trace of wear may be present, as well as glass threads, air bubbles and imperfections are completely normal for handmade antique glassware.
