Set of 30 Antique French Hand-Blown Glass Stemware: 15 Wine & 15 Water Glasses

This set of 30 early 20th-century blown glass stemware includes 15 wine glasses and 15 water glasses, each showcasing timeless elegance and artisanal craftsmanship. The glasses feature subtly curved bowls, gracefully tapering into baluster-shaped stems, resting on wide, stable bases. Their hand-blown nature is evident in the slight variations in size and form, which add charm and authenticity. The clear, slightly rippled glass reflects light beautifully, enhancing their visual appeal.

Blown glass stemware from this era was crafted with both utility and aesthetics in mind, reflecting the transition from handmade to semi-industrial production methods. The slight imperfections, such as air bubbles and asymmetrical details, are hallmarks of traditional glassblowing techniques, offering a glimpse into the artistry and skill of early 20th-century glassmakers. This set would have likely been part of an elegant table setting, with the larger glasses serving water and the smaller ones reserved for wine, embodying refined dining traditions.

Today, these glasses bring a touch of refined sophistication to any table setting, effortlessly elevating both casual and formal occasions with their understated elegance. When not in use, they can be displayed on open shelves or in a glass-front cabinet, where their delicate craftsmanship and timeless charm become a focal point.
