<4> French Antique Liquor Glasses

Taking pictures daily is a good excuse to open the cupboards and bring forgotten treasures out into the light of day. These were from my mother's family, who lived for several generations in New Orleans (where I was born). A little ostentatious for this day and age, I've never used them...before today...10:30 AM...for a photo.

We didn't tipple.

[Craigy P]

beautiful set, beatiful background and beautiful pic!

[Barb Kilburn]

Oh Louise...I am trying to catch up here....!

I know exactly what you mean about opening cupboards, etc!

This composition is wonderful.
The service is quite lovely, and goes so well with the damask and the chairs. The delicate silver, the rich colour of the tablecloth.... SO antebellum!
But the Grand Marnier really MAKES the shot! ;-)

[barbara harris]

They are gorgeous. You should use them often.You could serve a rich chocolate desert in them. Lovely styling.

[Mrs. Smith]

What a nice display! The chair in the background even add more to this picture. Happy Easter! :)

[Kathleen Setier]

Grand Marnier - my favorite! The glasses are really nice too.

[cglist]

Oh, they ARE beautiful! Nice composition!

[Lindsey Horton]

these are so pretty! happy easter :)

[Kerri26]

Nice composition! Such a beautiful set - I can see what you mean about them being a bit too fancy for regular use these days but it's nice that you were able to feature them on 365 since they are a family heirloom.

[Erica]

grand marnier! yuck.....my grandparents always give grand marnier to everyone at holidays...its gross

[Elizabeth Hanna]

Yum! Happy easter.

[Karen Hurd (hwy61)]

I love antique sets such as this. I guess each glass is different so after you do "tipple" a bit you can tell your glass from someone elses! You set up this shot so nicely, The tablecloth and chairs we see makes me think you might still be in New Orleans!

[Tracey White]

i like them ^_^

[Kathy Mason]

Lovely colors, so rich, fits the subject. Happy Easter!

[bruni]

the color of the table cloth and the ribbon on the grand manier bottle stand out for me very well arranged i hope you and your guest enjoyed an easter drink out of those beautiful old glasses. a true heirlum

[Denise Vetromile]

Okay, borrowing a phrase from Allison ... you've just peeled another layer off of the "Louise onion!" Born in New Orleans, but lived in Honolulu until you were 8. Hmmmm ... I wonder what your dad did. Was he in the military? (Gorgeous set, BTW!)

[Denise Vetromile]

AND, you've given me an idea for my shot today (I'm a day behind ~ on #3 ~ because Fraser sidetracked me on the 2nd ...)

[mirmax]

I think it's time to use them. Prost!

[Claudette Shelby]

What a very pretty set, I love the old silver sets. Happy Easter.

[Chimom]

oh wow! these are so fancy and pretty to look at it! love the lighting and i love old things like that, i always wonder what life looks like back in the 18 or 19th centuries, so mysterious... :))

[Hanna D]

cool shot! looks like quite the collection... nice focus, too

[Cindy Bryant]

And has the grande marnier also been maturing in the cupbaord or does that have a shorter life span lol?

[Louise & Ken]

@ Cindy: It periodically sees "the light of day" over the course of an evening...

Everyone having a nice Easter Sunday? :D

[Louise & Ken]

Did you see it? http://365project.org/bradsworld/365/2010-04-03 ...in case you wondered where the squirrel picture was today! (Thanks Brad!!!)

[Frances A Robinson]

I really love the silver work in this set. All of the detail is just amazing. Glad you opened up your cupboard. I can almost hear the glasses singing for joy.
