I bought some antique wine glasses a while ago. Tried to photograph them, but it was hard to do them justice.

I don’t drink beer or wine or champagne or anything like that, but I do like a splash of something sweet occasionally, such as a home-made dessert wine. And when I say “occasionally”, I mean like once a month maybe. I’ve made do with whatever receptacles we’ve had at home – plain water glasses, or Eric’s whisky glass – but then I ran across these and thought, why not. 19th century antiques for a pittance, probably because there were only three of them, so I bought all three.

As I said, the photos don’t do them justice. Delicate and intricate, and gently green.
