AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Rare set of 4 large glasses of the Helvétia model from the Saint-Louis crystal works.
The Helvétia motif was created and produced as early as 1880, and is characterized by this delicate acid engraving representing festoons in the shape of arches and hanging floral garlands.
The present version of the model is all the more valuable, as it is the prestige variant, where the upper frieze of interlaced rings has been painted in fine gold.
The irregularity you observe on the foot is quite normal. At that time, each piece was entirely mouth-blown and hand-stretched at Saint-Louis Crystal, making every glass unique.
