This is a lovely late Georgian / early Victorian hand-blown finger bowl.
I have six in total available - but just so there is no confusion this listing is for a SINGLE BOWL. The price is a very fair £55 for one bowl - and all my bowls are the same size, date and colour (give or take a little on the size due to each being a unique individually hand-blown item).
These antique glass finger bowls or rinsers - would have been used to rinse your fingers at a fancy dining tale after indulging fancy finger foods - or to rinse quickly wine glasses - so that different wines did not taint each other in a glass.
They are all in excellent condition with no chips, cracks or restoration - a little rubbing (slight and not disfiguring) to the pontil halo on the base - commensurate with age and them being picked up and down from a dining table. This is a good sign!
Each finger bowl has a polished pontil to the base.
They measure (approx) 4 inches in height - and with a diameter at the widest of 5 inches. The inside of the top rim is 4 inches. and each glass us nearly 500 grams in weight unpacked).
The amethyst colour is much harder to find - and these ones are a larger size - this is reflected in my asking price.
I also have some more traditional Bristol Blue ones in my online store - postal discounts would of course apply.
