Monticello Stemware: Cordial Wine Glasses

Thomas Jefferson was a true connoisseur. These cordial wine glasses, with their clean forms and exquisite engraving, speak volumes about his taste for fine design. Jefferson purchased a great deal of glassware between 1767 and 1821, but very little survives. Our stemware, based on a rare original, is mouth-blown full lead crystal, cut and etched by hand with a sprig and wheel band. Slight variations among the glasses are hallmarks of handmade glass. 5 3/4"h.
