Description
A superb Georgian Irish Ice Plate c1820.
Excellent shallow diamond cuts to the rims with a thick facet star cut base. Ice plates were used to bring ice to the table. the thick glass helping to reduce the thermal gradient. Nowadays ice plates are mostly used as carafe stands to spare the table from drips of red wine and port. Remarkably heavy. almost 2lbs. and excellent dark colour.
Lead glass. no chips cracks or restoration and clean and clear. It measures 1 inch tall and 7 inches in diameter.
