Delightful hotsell 19th century handblown carafe with four cordial glass, French, handpainted, daisy, vintage glass, bottle, old glass, decanter

hotsell A really delightful cordial carafe with four matching glasses. Handblown, and decorated with a simple pattern of daisies. Hand-painted stopper and rough pontils to the base. Probably French in origin, and dating from the latter part of the 19th century. What is particularly charming is the imperfection of the blown glass, with the little cups all being slightly different in size and shape. There is some knocking and flaking to the part of the stopper that is inserted (normal wear) and some visually imperceptible roughness to the bases of a couple of the glasses. The gilt is rubbed in places. No obvious chips.

A simply lovely antique set.


Condition: Very good vintage

Measurements: Carafe is 9" high and 3" wide, cups are 3.5" high
