Two Irish Georgian Glass Double-Lip Wine Rinsers
Sold
DETAILS
Possibly Waterford. Two antique grey tone glass wine rinsers with wide half-fluting. Note: an assembled set of similar rinsers. Price is for (2) rinsers.
A wine rinser or cooler was traditionally used to rinse or chill the diner's wine glass between formal dinner courses. A rinser is placed next to the each place setting at the dining table. The spout is designed to hold the stem of the glass with the wine glass inverted. Today they make attractive bowls or vases.
