An exceptionally elegant seven-piece cordial service in brilliant emerald-green glass, distinguished by elaborate gold floral decoration, sculptural clear glass elements, and a beautifully elongated silhouette.

The centerpiece is a graceful decanter with a tall, slender green neck, gently curved pouring spout, and sweeping clear glass handle. Its rounded lower body is adorned with an intricate band of gilded floral and scrolling ornamentation, while a clear pedestal foot provides an elegant foundation.

Six coordinating stemmed cordial glasses complete the service. Each features a rich emerald-green bowl, decorative gold detailing, and a clear sculptural stem rising from a circular foot finished with delicate gilt edging.

The combination of jewel-toned glass, elaborate gilding, and transparent architectural elements gives this collection a wonderfully theatrical quality, equally at home in a formal dining room, traditional cocktail cabinet, or beautifully appointed entertaining space.

FROM THE HOUSE

There is a certain pleasure in finding a complete entertaining service that feels as though it belongs to another, more leisurely age.

The decanter rises with extraordinary grace, its slender emerald neck and clear glass handle creating a delicate silhouette above the richly decorated body. Around it, six coordinating glasses repeat the jewel-like green and intricate gold ornamentation.

It is the sort of collection that invites one to linger after dinner, when conversation is unhurried and the smallest details of entertaining become part of the occasion.

A beautifully decorative ensemble, with all the charm and ceremony of a well-appointed traditional home.
