Elegant Victorian cased glass mantle lusters. Please read entire description and view photos. These are statement pieces! Very Downton Abbey! Large pontil mark on bottoms. Hand painted design with raised enameling and beading. They stand 11 inches tall x 4.75 wide at the top. Some of the glass prisms/lustres have tiny chigger bites on the edges; as expected, and one has a small sliver of glass missing; you would only notice this when removing them to clean them. You will also note these lusters have some small divets/pops in the glass and stray paint marks here and there. I believe those are natural flaws from the glass making process, (like bubble pops), and the hand painting itself. The pink and white coloring is identical; the painted scenes on one of the lusters, have some of the red paint missing but you'd only notice that when they are sitting right next to each other and if looking up close. Since they'd be displayed at two ends of something, the difference would not be noticeable. That probably happened over the years when someone attempted to clean/dust them. The hand painting is on the surface, not under a glaze so it would not be unusual to have some paint loss. These items are very old and the flaws are really only noticeable if you are looking for them up close; if they are just sitting on a mantle or breakfront, you probably would never notice any flaws. I think they are stunning despite the minor flaws. If you use paypal, you must be a verified buyer with a confirmed address, otherwise, write a check. As is, as described.
