Lot of 4 antique clear glass verrines, original box, vintage decor

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This lot includes four antique verrines, visible in their original compartmentalized cardboard box. Each verrine has a flared cylindrical shape, with smooth sides and a flat base, typical of verrines used for appetizer, dessert, or tasting presentations. The transparent glass highlights the purity of the line and the elegant simplicity of their design, without any apparent patterns or decorations.

The open box shows that the four verrines are carefully arranged, each in its individual compartment. On the top of the box, an illustrated booklet titled "MES VERRINES de fêtes" (My Festive Verrines) is placed, suggesting a festive or culinary use. No manufacturer's logo or brand is visible on the exposed side of the box or the verrines.

The glass finish is regular, with rounded edges, and the whole set has a retro look reminiscent of table art from past decades. The transparency of the material and the simplicity of the shape enhance any content presented in these verrines, whether it be appetizers, mousses, creams, or cocktail aperitifs.

The packaging cardboard shows slight wear on the opening tab, characteristic of an old or vintage item that has been handled, but it remains structurally in good overall condition. The original presentation is preserved, which adds to the decorative and practical interest of this lot.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The visible verrines appear to be in good condition with no major observable flaws on the exposed side. The box shows moderate wear on the tab, with no other apparent damage.

Did you know? The term "verrine" originally refers to a small glass designed to present individual culinary preparations. Popularized in French gastronomy from the 1990s onwards, verrines allow for layering textures and flavors, while enhancing the visual aspect of dishes thanks to the transparency of the container.
