Pair of Mid Victorian Panel Cut Bell Bowled Cordial or Liqueur Glasses

This is a pair of highly attractive cordial or liqueur glasses, probably British in origin and dating to around 1850. The bell shaped bowl has a thickened base and is cut with a series of six panels with curved upper and lower margins. There is a small discoid collar at the junction of the bowl and the stem. The latter is cylindrical with a central ball knop. The foot is plain with a central polished pontil. These glasses are being sold as a pair but there is a ‘spare’ third glass included. Each glass has a height of approximately 8.0cm, with a diameter at the rim of about 4.9cm and across the foot of about 4.4cm. There may be minor discrepancies in the dimensions due to the handmade nature of the glasses. They are in excellent condition, with no chips or cracks.
