Rare Set of Six Antique Edwardian High Quality Hand-Blown, Hand-Etched and Hand-Cut Bohemian Glass Liqueur/Cordial Glasses, in the Original Pall Mall Lady Hamilton Pattern, Circa 1900
I am almost at the end of my effort to downsize, not many items left to list! But I have to clear a cabinet of glassware, so I have some sets of glasses coming up.
Available here is an Amazing & Special Set of Six Antique Edwardian High Quality Hand-Blown, Hand-Etched and Hand-Cut Bohemian Glass Liqueur/Cordial Glasses, in the Original Pall Mall Lady Hamilton Pattern, Circa 1900
These little glasses are so cute and are very lightweight and fine, even for their small size and stature! I am not sure what Liqueur or Cordial they are designed for as they are sooo small, only holding about 30ml, two tablespoons!
Perfect for when your kid asks for a glass of coca cola and you don’t want them having too much!!!!
They are shaped like miniature wine glasses, with an etched and cut bucket shaped bowl and a plain stem and foot. Research suggests they are most likely produced in Bohemia, and date to circa 1900, so very much genuine antiques.
Further research confirms that these glasses are in the Pall Mall, Lady Hamilton design, which is a mix of hand-etching and hand-cutting: The pattern consists of a scrollwork border beneath which appears latticework. It consists of a band of interlocking circles beneath which are two lines/rings.
Underneath this appears an elaborate representation of hanging flowers. This scrollwork border is always etched.
Underneath the scrollwork at the bottom of the piece of glass, covering the glass from the base of the bowl to approximately 40% (two fifths) of the way up the bowl is a latticework. In the original, Edwardian Pall Mall glasses (such as this set) this latticework is cut-glass. In the slightly later reproductions, (not these!) a cheaper option was used and the latticework was also etched into the glass.
All six are in very good Antique condition considering they are 125 years old. One glass has a tiny flea-bite on the rim.
They stand 3.5 inches/9cm tall and the diameter is just 1.5 inches/4cm, and foot diameter is roughly 1.75 inches/4.5 cm, see the photos. The capacity is 30ml or two tablespoons. See the photo with some other glasses to help gauge the size. Due to the hand-made quality of these pieces, there are slight variations in the size, shape, and pattern.
Genuine (not repro) Pall Mall Lady Hamilton glasses are not cheap to buy, see a couple of examples in the last two photos.
I have some other glassware that I will be listing shortly, see the final photo and keep an eye out for my other ads!
