Description

A pair of Regency comports or bowls together with a set of four salts. The bowls (Circa 1820) are very substantial, thick and heavy with stylised foliate and geometric patterns on lozenge shaped feet. They measure 21cm wide X 12cm depth X 16cm tall. The salts which we believe are slightly later (circa1880) measure 8cm wide X 5cm depth X 7cm tall. All the pieces are in exceptional condition for their age with no chips or cracks and with a very interesting provenance.

PROVENANCE: These pieces were originally sold at Christies, London on 26-27 January 2006, Lot 444.

The hammer price at the time was £800.

FAQs

Regency glassware, produced during the early 19th century, is characterised by heavy, brilliant-cut lead crystal featuring deep diamond facets, prismatic cuts, and star motifs designed to reflect candlelight.

These items are crafted from heavy lead crystal, shaped by blowing or moulding, and then hand-cut and polished on a wheel to create precise geometric patterns and facets.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit high lead content, greyish wear marks on the polished pontil or base, slight irregularities indicative of hand-craftsmanship, and sharp, crisp cutting edges.

Antique crystal comports can be used as functional table centrepieces filled with fruit or seasonal foliage, or displayed on a sideboard to add reflective texture and historical contrast to modern spaces.

Antique crystal should be hand-washed in lukewarm water using mild detergent and lined with a towel in the sink to prevent chipping. Never use boiling water or harsh chemicals, and dry thoroughly with a lint-free cloth.
