Special Notes:
Antique European glasses of this type were likely used in homes and cafes in the late 19th to early 20th century as water glasses, dessert wine or liqueur glasses, or dessert cups/pudding molds. During that era, there was a culture of valuing objects, and if a glass remained unbroken, it might have been used for a long time as an everyday item, such as a toothbrush holder or a small item container. It is imagined that these were not luxury goods, but rather items that were close to the lives of ordinary people.
