4 antique water glasses “gondole - Greek Key” 19th century

Definition.

4 beautiful water glasses, made at the end of the 19th century in France.

The glasses are made of mouth-blown glass, with a crystal content to achieve a more beautiful shine.

The glasses have a beautiful convex shape and are finished with engraved garlands around the glass, this we call the "Greek key"

At the bottom of the foot you can see the cut-off of the blowpipe.

These glasses can be found in the early Baccarat catalogue under "Gondole" glasses.

In the 19th century this was a water glass, now we use it more as a wine glass.

These are completely handmade, so they can vary in size and weight.

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.
