Catawiki’s goal is to make special objects universally available. Our weekly auctions feature thousands of unusual, rare, and exceptional objects you won’t find in just any store. The special thing about these opaque twist wine glasses is that they are offered as a set of no less than 6 glasses! Glasses like these are normally offered per piece, this is a great opportunity to own a complete set of 6 identical 18th century glasses. The glasses are in new/excellent condition. No chips or breaks in the glass. Glasses vary slightly in size and weight, which is common for these handmade glasses in the 18th century. I would like to refer you to the detailed information below and also to the photos, which are also part of the description
