the rounded bowls are decorated with pointed palmette sprays, small stars and intersecting diagonal bands. The cutting reveals clear crystal within the blue colour, creating a detailed contrast across the surface of each bowl.

narrow coloured collars beneath the bowls lead into long, clear slice-cut stems. Large diamond-cut basal knops sit above circular feet, completing the characteristic massenet form.

matching in colour, decoration and construction, the five glasses form a cohesive group for a collection of french crystal or an elegant table setting.
