Vallérysthal & Portieux - Plate (8) - (Persian) glass...

Set of 2 rare dinner plates (approx. 2.5 cm high, 24 x 21 cm wide; 512 and 477 g heavy) and 6 amuse-bowls (approx. 0.5 cm high, 13 x 12.5 cm wide; weighing between 118 and 135 g) in the shape of wine leaves, as they were in fashion in French and Belgian glassworks around 1900. The total set weighs 1.725 kg. These plates are listed in the Vallérysthal & Portieux catalog from 1907. The plates and bowls are in very good condition with no damage (one small plate deviates slightly – probably produced a bit earlier than the others, with the design even crisper and slightly more concave), but this is not noticeable when they are together on a table. The pieces show the typical characteristics of antique glass: occasional air bubbles or glass strands and small irregularities in shape and weight. One of the large plates has a small production fault: a small black spot in the glass (see photo). All carefully packed and shipped insured.

Estimate:£126.92
