Harlequin sets consist of mismatched individual pieces gathered from a similar period, such as the Victorian era, offering varied etched patterns while sharing a cohesive form like shallow coupe bowls for sparkling wine.

These items are typically crafted from lead crystal or flint glass, shaped using traditional glassblowing techniques, and decorated with wheel-engraved or acid-etched surface motifs.

Authentic pieces often exhibit small air bubbles, pontil marks on the base, surface wear consistent with age, and slight variations in thickness due to hand-manufacturing processes.

They can be displayed on a bar cart, styled on open shelving, or utilised during dinner parties to introduce tactile history and a layered aesthetic to modern table settings.

Wash by hand using lukewarm water and mild detergent, avoiding abrasive sponges and dishwashers to protect the delicate etched patterns and prevent thermal shock.
