We were in a Vide Grenier in Gruissan, on the coast south of Narbonne, today when I spotted these eight champagne glasses in a stall.
Moulded and not blown they still had a very elegant shape and the feel of age about them, my guess would be they were hotel champagne glasses from the 1930’s.
“How much?” I enquired of Madame.
She was obviously keen to see the back of them.
“You can have the eight for one Euro ” she said.
Even though I have eight large cases full of glasses still unpacked in the cellar how could I not?
I bought them.
