A very unusual hand-painted example and one which is rarely encountered today.

Condition
Excellent. No chips, cracks or restoration. Clean and clear.
Dimensions
Height: 34.5cm (including stopper),
Diameter: 8.7cm.
Historical Context
By the mid-19th century, the dining table had become a stage. Glass like this wasn’t just for pouring; it was meant to signal refinement and wealth. Rich colour, engraving, and cutting all designed to catch candlelight and signal refinement at the Victorian table.
It was used not for storage, but for serving wine or liqueurs, allowing clearer pouring and better presentation. Pieces like this would sit on the dining table or sideboard, acting as both a functional vessel and a display of status.
