Description
19th century lovely cut glass double lipped glass rinser with thumb cut panels to base surmounted by a beautifully engraved design of leaves and grapes.
Glass rinsers or coolers were originally used to rinse or cool wine glasses between courses. The glass was turned upside down, and the stem rested against the lip. Now, they are often used to hold ice when serving drinks at the bar, and the ice tongs rest against or hang on the lip.
Also a great piece for the collector of antique glass.
Size-approx. 4 inches high by 5.5 inches wide (lip to lip).
Weight-420 grams.
In very good condition, this would make an excellent and functional talking point at a drinks party.
Sold individually, this is one of four available as seen in last photo.
