Despite the very limited and well executed restoration this is a very fine example and one of the most aesthetic. There is a most irritating propensity for such glasses to be described as “Champagne glasses”. We agree that some with narrower bowl may well be. however. this broad coupe facilitated picking up sweetmeats with fingers of a utensil.
