Cocktail Hour

I inherited quite a few treasures when my 2nd cousin (more like an aunt, since she was a little older than my mom) died 3 years ago. This item set on the buffet for as long as I remember, but no one in the family had liqueur in the house ever. Unfortunately, I don't know the history of this piece - I call it a cordial set, while a friend thought it was for sherry. Regardless of its name, I love it as a reminder of the past ♥

It is a very nice set of liquor. The bn suits him very well

[Annie-Sue]

lovely form - and memory. What colour is it in real life?

[Sylvia]

Sherry anyone! wonderful vintage and memories.

[Carole Sandford]

It belongs to a time gone by. I’m guessing it’s red in colour?

[Shirley B]

A famous quote, but so hard in real life. We tend to keep items.

[Daryl O'Hare]

Such a beautiful set! Reminds me of Venetian glass sets I saw at the Murano glass factory in Italy ages and ages ago.

[Gillian]

Lovely to have these family treasures.

[Jacqueline]

Such an elegant set! Is the glass red tinted?

[Judith Greenwood]

The decanter is very unusual- I’m sure something would taste very nice out of it!

[Susan Wakely]

Lovely set. I also imagine it to be red.

@anniesue @carole_sandford @jacqbb @wakelys The set is actually green, with red and gold accents. I'll make sure to capture a color photo of it soon. Thanks for dropping by.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

It's very pretty- such elegant shapes which would not be as noticeable in color. It's nice that you've continued to display it because has a special meaning to you.
