AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Extraordinary and Rarest Georgian Glass Wine Service, Hand-Blown and Hand-Cut in the 18th Century (circa 1760-1680)
In the antique market, stumbling upon a complete Georgian-era wine service is practically a once-in-a-lifetime event. While you can find a single bottle or a few mismatched glasses, the simultaneous presence of a monumental bottle with its original stopper and no fewer than 10 perfectly matched glasses makes this set an exceptionally rare piece.
Outstanding Characteristics and Craftsmanship
The 10 Cristaled Glasses: The peculiarity of these glasses lies in the magnificent exterior workmanship: each goblet features a flared bowl with a bulbous lower section entirely decorated with ribbing and vertical relief cuttings. This handcrafted honing not only beautifully captures the light but also offers a grip with a touch of old-world charm.
The Monumental Bottle: Standing at 44.50 cm tall, the bottle has a slender silhouette, adorned with dense ribs and hand-molted festoons at the base that echo the motif of the glasses. It is topped by its extremely rare original full-drop stopper.
Authenticity and Handcrafted: The tiny millimetric variations (up to about 1 cm) between one glass and another are undeniable proof of manual eighteenth-century execution and the absence of industrial molds.
Condition (Perfect)
Impeccable conditions: The service presents in excellent overall preservation.
Integrity: Completely intact, with no chips.
Transparency and Material: Looking at the glass up close, one clearly notices the characteristic texture of mouth-blown glass from the era, vivid and full of charm. An extraordinary, pristine, perfect ensemble ready for display or use.
Dimensions and Specifications
Bottle: Total height 44.50 cm.
Glasses (10 pieces): Height ~13.40 cm | Rim diameter ~7 cm.
