VONECHE crystalware late 18th or early 19th century. - Lot 690
VONECHE crystalware late 18th or early 19th century. Exceptional set of trumpet glasses with faceted feet, including 12 wine glasses measuring 12.9 cm and 11 champagne glasses measuring 15.5 cm. The size of these glasses suggests that they were used as rafraichissoirs. The glass is cooled and rinsed in the cooler and served on a tray at the request of a guest. The minimal quantity of wine thus corresponded to one or two sips that diners could absorb while the footman waited with his tray for the glass to return. The Cristallerie de VONECHE, first royal in 1778, became imperial under the Empire. It was bought out in the 19th century by its competitor BACCARAT. A chipped glass is attached.
