Vintage 1900 Saint Louis Blue Etched Crystal Wine Glasses Minton shaped by the ocean floorThis set of four French crystal glasses reflects the flowing botanical forms that defined the Art Nouveau movement. Each cerulean bowl bears a finely acid etched acanthus leaf motif, a painstaking decorative technique that softens the surface without diminishing the brilliance of the crystal.
