Rare and interesting crystal glass, made for the 1889 Paris Universal Exhibition.
"Souvenir de l'Exposition Universelle de Paris 1889".
The molded crystal stem is in the shape of the Eiffel Tower !
The glass is engraved with the Eiffel Tower, the Palais du Trocadéro and the Dôme central.
Also engraved with the Parisian Armorial "fluctuat nec mergitur".
Nice crystal, nice sound, probabaly made by the Cristalleries de Clichy (Legras) because the stem is marked "PARIS Déposé".
Dimensions: Height: 19 cm Diameter: 8,4 cm
Weight: 340 grammes, rather heavy in hand.
Perfect condition.
