Drinking set (4) - Liège wine glasses, 18th / early 19th century - lead glass

A beautiful set of four Liège mouth-blown and hand-finished wine glasses. The glasses are in truly wonderful condition. The model was produced over a long period, I suspect 100 to 120 years, the very earliest around 1730. The four glasses here are somewhat younger, among other things due to the type of glass used and the slightly less tall conical foot than the earliest specimens had. I estimate the glasses were made between the second half of the 18th century and the first half of the 19th century. Please refer you to the photos, which are also part of the description.
