More Information

Eleven glasses have replaced bases, of which seven have chips to the foot rim. The four with original bases; none have are chipped. However as in all the glasses the gilding is work to various degrees, one of which has small rim chips. Of the remaining glasses, again the wear on the gilt decoration varies from almost completely worn to partial (see image for illustration).
The glasses vary in thickness and height, mostly due to the replaced feet. Some have tiny chips to the rim.
