This set of four "Sweetmeat" glasses, dating back to the 1830s, showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of anonymous glassmakers. The glasses, likely used for serving small sweets or desserts, feature intricate cut-glass designs that reflect light beautifully. The diamond-shaped patterns and a raised, patterned "knob" just below the rim add a touch of elegance. These delicate glasses are a fine example of 19th-century glassmaking and the artistry of cut glass, a popular decorative technique of the period.
