Literature: Parallels Barlow/Kaiser - The Glass Industry in Sandwich, Vol. 5, p. 50, figs. 5077, 5078, and 5079; Spillman - White House Glassware, p. 66, fig. 25, left.
Catalogue Note: A smaller and very closely related drinking set exists in the collection of the Corning Museum of Glass. Their set comprises a decanter and six wine glasses, and can be found under the accession number "2013.4.24". Corning attributes their set to Sandwich and identifies the distinctively-shaped pieces as reflecting "the height of fashion for glass tableware at the time". The appetite for this style can be seen in two very similar decanters from the Lincoln Service, manufactured for the White House by Christian Dorflinger's newly-opened Greenpoint Glass Works in 1861.Condition
Excellent condition, 40 articles undamaged, one decanter with a chip at a rim cutting, claret with a short body crack at the lower handle juncture and interior with some light residue, one goblet with a shallow chip to the underside of foot, one 4" wine with a minute rim nick.
