Antique Portieux French Cordial Set

Here's to your health! 

This delightful, Antique Portieux French Cordial Set is "just what the doctor ordered" for any well-appointed bar or special celebration. The exquisite decanter with its diminutive glasses and serving tray are rendered in the palest of robin's egg blue - one of the signature shades for which Lorraine's famed Portieux glassworks is known. 

With a rich history dating from 1690, Portieux produced highly prized decorative pieces in both opaline and clear glass. Most praised for developing a proprietary formula for a rich blue opaline glass, the firm employed as many as 1,000 workers in the 18th century. Symbiotic collaboration between glass blowers at its Vosges headquarters and artists at a secondary location in what became Vallerysthal, Germany after European border changes in the 19th century, Portieux created a wide portfolio that encompassed traditional design as well as influential Bohemian art glass trends.

With a breathtaking translucency and free-hand, artisan-applied gold embellishment in a playful botanic motif on the decanter and glasses, this gleaming set is perfectly sized for after dinner spirits and is sure to become a dramatic addition to your home bar or dining room display.
