Pretty small Limoges porcelain ring dish, ashtray and scent spray with Faience courting couples. Fragonard is written within the image. Back stamp on the dish and scent spray indicates this was produced in 1953, I'm unsure of the date of the ashtray. The ring dish has gold filigree on green circular band, in the centre is a romantic decal of a man serenading a woman with a basket of flowers, painted by Fragonard (1732 - 1806); this dish sits on a plate holder. The feminine rectangle ashtray has a romantic decal of a courting couple also painted by Fragonard and gold rim and cigarette rests. The scent spray has a lovely pansy flower, burgundy and gold banding with filigree decoration: the puffer bag is missing. A lovely unmatched trio in very good vintage condition, the paint and decal are all intact with no crazing, chips or cracks. The ashtray has some fading on the gold paint. See Photo. A wonderful set for a feminine bedroom, to keep rings and earring safe. An ideal gift for a birthday girl. A Limoges collector pieces. Ring dish and Ashtray measurement Dish: 10 cm diameter Ashtray: 11 x 8 cm

A rare set of 6 Antique jelly glass in lead crystal glass, possibly Georgian and produced in the early 1820s. The tall fluted bowl has slice cut panels with a knife cushion stem; the flat base has a polished pontil. All 6 glasses are in good vintage condition with tooling marks, bubble and minor age related marks and scratches, one of the glass' has a tooling dent on the base. See Photo. Lead crystal glass has lovely rainbow refractions and a fine tonal ring. The jelly glasses used by wealthy people of that era would be displayed on tasers (glass trays) like a cake stand and the wealthier would have them stacked like a pyramid. (Arthur Negus, Guide to British Glass) The jelly of the time was made from calf's foot and here is a recipe. Calf's Foot Jelly, from Original Recipe in 'English Housewifry' by Elizabeth Moxon, 1764, an interesting book! http://www.foodsofengland.co.uk/calfsfootjelly.htm A lovely set of 6, which survived 200 years, how many hands has this passed through? The set have minimal varying measurements due to it being handblown. A wonderful vintage wedding gift for wine, champagne or sherry or as its intended purpose, jelly. A set of 6 for a collector of Georgian glass. Jelly Glass measurement (approx) Height: 11 cm Width: 6 cm Base Width: 6 cm

I've polished the description while retaining the historical interest and sales appeal:

A rare set of six antique lead crystal jelly glasses, possibly Georgian and dating from the early 1820s.

Each glass features a tall fluted bowl with slice-cut panels, a knife cushion stem, and a flat foot with a polished pontil mark. As expected with hand-blown glass of this age, there are slight variations in measurements between the glasses, adding to their authenticity and charm.

All six glasses are in good antique condition, displaying characteristic tooling marks, air bubbles, and minor age-related wear, including light scratches. One glass has a tooling dent to the base, which occurred during manufacture. Please see photographs for details.

The lead crystal produces beautiful rainbow refractions and a clear tonal ring when gently tapped. According to Arthur Negus's Guide to British Glass, jelly glasses were often displayed on tazzas (glass stands) by wealthy households, with the most elaborate presentations featuring glasses arranged in pyramids.

Traditionally, jelly was made using calf's feet. An original recipe can be found in English Housewifry by Elizabeth Moxon (1764), offering a fascinating glimpse into Georgian dining and entertaining.

It is remarkable that this set has survived for over 200 years. A beautiful addition to a Georgian glass collection, these glasses could also be used for serving champagne, sherry, dessert wines, or, of course, jelly as originally intended.

An exceptional gift for a collector, glass enthusiast, or vintage wedding couple. This is a particularly attractive set because of the polished pontils and the fact that all six glasses have remained together for two centuries.

Measurements (approximate)

• Height: 11 cm
• Rim diameter: 6 cm
