Pair Of Medici "love" Glasses, Directoire–empire Period

A superb pair of wine glasses, 12.5 cm high, Medici style, with a heavy square base, made of mold-blown and cut-engraved glass.

Stem is faceted, and body of glass—slender and flared—is cut by scales up to the top third, then encircled with a finely engraved frieze depicting lovebirds in a nest beneath a crown: two custom-made glasses commissioned for a wedding.
Very fine quality, rare model, which was likely sold in the galleries of Palais Royal.
Dimensions: 12.5 cm x 6.5 cm.
Square base measuring 5 cm.
Both of these two-century-old glasses are in good condition, with the exception of one chip at the base on one corner, and other minor, insignificant imperfections;
