Hi all, I picked these up because I thought the color was so lovely and I also liked the hand painted details. I thought they were a match set of something but now I see they are shaped differently. Approx 5” across each. What would these be used for. Only thing I can think of is an epergne It looks like they go with something else. Image search yielded nothing and I’m at a loss for terms to search Thank you for any help.
These look to be cased glass. As I understand it, it is 2 layers of glass of different colors. Bon-bons? Linda
I love the color. These may have been part of a fruit bowl set. Originally, it would have had one large bowl with 6-8 small bowls. It would be like a fruit cocktail where you would serve out of the large bowl into the smaller ones. I think a lot of people would be interested in these today just for the beauty and decorative value. They appear to be antique.
I usually see this form described as a "bride's basket"....would have sat in a metal basket frame like this...(ignore the price). https://www.1stdibs.com/furniture/d...BpxSAX9Kg2X7_t7Va0YaAi24EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
Ah! I’ve never heard of a bride’s basket I gotta laugh at the prices on that website but it must work for some! thank you so much everyone
