A PAIR OF GEORGIAN COMPORTS
REF: FA1520
A robust and characterful pair of Georgian comports, each with a rounded bowl set upon a short stem and solid, weighty firing foot. The substantial bases, designed for striking upon the table in a celebratory toast, embody the convivial spirit of the Georgian tavern and dining room.
The comports display the charming irregularities typical of hand-blown 18th-century glass, including subtle striations and small air bubbles that testify to their handmade origin. Their bold simplicity and tactile weight make them both historically fascinating and visually striking examples of early English glassware.
