Want to really make a statement on your table? This set of 4 elegant wine glasses will do just that.

These glasses stand 9 inches tall and the bowl has the warmest amber color! The stem and base are clear.

The bowls have been hand painted with an assortment of apples, pears, grapes, plums and leaves in a true Tuscany style.

All my glassware is painted using a heat cured enamel paint for durability. This heat process makes the glassware safe in the top rack of your dishwasher.

Want to add to the drama? How about an entire table service in the sames pattern? Salt and pepper shakers, cream and sugar set, gravy boat, cruet set, butter dish, and coffee mugs. All featuring any pattern you choose. A couple of examples of this pattern on other service pieces can be seen in the fourth and fifth pictures above.
