Pair of Regency Bristol Blue Glass Cups or Vases

About the Item

A decorative pair of late Georgian hand-blown Bristol blue glass rinsers. England, circa 1820. Why we like them The deep cobalt is most desirable and contributes a dash of colour and sophisticated style. Rinsers were used to rest the small wine glasses used at the time in water so that they were clean for the next wine to be served. The two lips are thought to allow a rinser to be shared between two people or to allow two different wine glasses to be rinsed at the same time.

  • Pair of Grand Tour Greek Bronze Vases on Marble Bases
    Located in London, GB
    A decorative pair of Grand Tour bronze-patinated urns of ancient Greek 'volute krater' form,  Italy, 19th century. Why we like them We love the decorative look of these urns, evoking the Grand Tour travels of the 19th century. Perfect for lamp conversion. Design This shape was introduced in the late 6th century B.C. and was favoured by significant artists who worked in terracotta and in bronze. The earliest example in bronze belongs to the late 5th century B.C. and was found in a tomb in Agrigento. A characteristic of volute-krater handles is the fine articulation of the volute itself and of the lower terminals where they rested on the shoulder of the vase. Here, as in most metal examples, they assume the form of swans' heads. A pair of handles of this design is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. Chiurazzi, De Angelis and Sommer where the main Neapolitan foundries that catered for the needs and tastes of the grand-tourists throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries.
