This set of four "Sweetmeat" glasses, dating from around 1830, showcases the artistry of anonymous glassblowers. Each glass features a unique cut design, with a diamond pattern adorning the base and a fluted design on the bowl. The clear glass and intricate cuts would have reflected light beautifully, adding a touch of elegance to any table setting. These glasses demonstrate the growing popularity of cut glass in the early 19th century, reflecting a shift towards more elaborate tableware.
