This is a lovely late Georgian / early Victorian pair of matching hand-blown finger bowls.
These are a nice couple of bowls in lovely vintage condition - slightly lighter in colour and a bit lighter in weight than the four that I also have listed.
The price is very fair, at just under £45 for each bowl - my two bowls (marked B) 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 both 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) 3 1/2 inches in height - and with a diameter at the widest of 4 3/4 inches. Each glass bowl is nearly 300 grams in weight unpacked).
I also have some rarer amethyst ones in my online store - postal discounts would of course apply.
