Manchester Sterling Silver Holder Etched Crystal Insert Champagne Glass Set Of 9

Description

You are bidding on a vintage antique set of 9 Manchester Company Sterling Silver Champagne (or Cordial?) Glasses with Sterling Silver base (holder) and removable hand-blown, etched crystal/glass liner inserts. Each silver holder weighs 26 grams, and the entire item stands approximately 6” tall. The crystal inserts are very lightweight and have a decorative “Art Nouveau” design etched on each.
Markings on the silver- The makers marks are on the inner tops of the silver (above the filigreed cut-outs) and are very hard to see and even harder to photograph due to wear (age). The marking reads “Sterling 069” and there is also an imprint of the Manchester hallmark of 2 birds wings surrounding a letter M. Manchester Silver Company was in business from 1904-1914 and based out of Providence, Rhode Island. Also, each silver piece has a monogrammed “L” on the outside, to represent my ancestors’ last name, Louis.
So some of the glasses have tiny nicks on their tops. I was told by an antique dealer that they could be filed/ground down so that they are all nice and smooth. I will leave that to the buyer to do if they choose to! There is one glass that has a slightly bigger nick (see picture).
Each Sterling Filigree holder has normal tarnish. Not flawless but can shine up, as seen in the main picture and the front two were semi-polished up to give you an idea.
Please email me with any questions you have. Thanks for looking and good luck!
