Tea service (9) - Glass, Gold

Blown-glass tea set featuring an impressive decoration of flowers and foliage, entirely crafted in gold inlay.


The flower crown was crafted with great delicacy and precision to achieve a relief effect. A work of art of great refinement.
Practically a jeweler's work, entirely handmade, achieved through a delicate brush application.

In crafting these little jewels, the artist paid attention to the details: the inlay of the coasters was done from the underside to prevent any rubbing and to preserve the pattern, akin to a coaster, and the bottoms of the cups are adorned with a small flower also affixed from the underside.

A masterful piece of work.
Probably from the Napoleonic III era.

The set consists of 9 pieces:

- 1 large ewer. Height 18 cm. Diameter 17 cm. Length 26 cm
- 1 tall sugar bowl. 12 cm diameter, 11 cm high
- Creamer/pot. Height 10 cm. Diameter 11 cm. Length 13 cm
- 3 cups, diameter 7 cm, height 5 cm
- 3 coasters Diameter 12 cm Height 1.5 cm

In excellent condition, with only a few minor wear spots on the gold edging around the rim of the cup and on the sugar bowl lid. (See photos no. 1, 6, 2 and 20)
Nothing to worry about regarding the pristine quality of the remarkable inlay work of the motif. For purists or collectors, a light restoration of the borders is always possible.

Magnificent!
