It is composed of a precious glassware consisting of 4 decanters and 16 matching liqueur glasses in pressed glass.

The set is perfectly distributed in a small wooden tray that can be removed and transported if desired, thanks to a top knob.

The decorative box that protects the glassware is made of root wood with beautiful Boullé decoration on the front, on the top and even on the inside. The box has a total opening, both on the sides and on the top lid, which facilitates the extraction of the set.
