This set of five "Sweetmeat" glasses, dating back to the 1830s, showcases the intricate craftsmanship of anonymous glassblowers. Their clear glass is adorned with elegant, cut patterns, including a diamond-shaped design and a subtle vertical ribbing, creating a play of light and shadow. These glasses, likely used for serving sweets and desserts, represent the sophistication of glassware during the early 19th century. Their delicate size and detailed ornamentation speak to the refinement of the era, making them delightful examples of decorative glassblowing.
