Technical Description
 
A truly superb set of four 19th century apple green wine glasses. They have ribbed ogee bowls above a large shoulder blade and ball knop stems. Conical feet with polished pontils.
 
Comments
 
The ribbed design can be seen in a number of different Richardson designs from this period as well as finger bowls and serving bottles, however, we have never come across a wine glass in this form and were unable to find any documented examples in our library or online. They come from the same collection as the recent apple green Richardsons decanter (now sold) and are of the same age and colour. We are confident you won''t find another example on line.
 
We have 11 glasses in total and are selling as a set of six, a set of four and a single.
