DescriptionThe tumblers are a set of eight glasses with the golden foliage design and the metal caddy that would be used for serving. They feature an acid etched background that wraps around the center of the vessel’s body and extends to approximately an inch from the rim and an inch from the base. Throughout the body there are various twenty-two carat
gold enamel leaves in the shapes of oak, maple, and/or poplar trees. Around the mouth of the vessel there is a thin gold line that is fragmented into three sections and acts as a border to the acid etching.
