An antique set of three hollow wine glasses with interior gilded with gold lacquer. Often called Varnish mercury glass after the company who patented the technique and the process of gilding. These have their original corks to the bottom to stop moisture ingress tarnishing the interior. Probably late 19th century.

I also have a mercury glass vase on my profile for your consideration.

Condition
An antique used item in good condition. No chips or cracks. One very miniscule bit of tarnish to the gilding as shown in the photo at the end. Antique hand made glass so some discrepancy in size. Tiny bit of wear to the cork area. Bubbles from manufacturing in the glass. Please see photos.

Post and Packaging
Items will be wrapped very carefully and delivered via a tracked courier service. Typically courier providers such as Evri, UPS, DPD & Royal Mail are used dependant on weight and dimensions. If multiple listings are ordered I can provide combined postage for post and packaging savings if possible (savings can be sent via an updated invoice request or a partial refund can be used after ordering). Please note free delivery is only included to mainland UK postcodes; heavy or large items may require additional shipping charges to cover courier fees.

International shipping is available via eBay's Global Shipping Program (GSP). Occasionally combined postage on international shipping is not available as per GSP's terms and service. If you are an international buyer interested in more than one listing I can make a new listing with multiple items for it to be legible for combination in eBay's GSP depending on weight and dimension restrictions.
