Hawkes’ Marquise Hollow Stem Champagne – SOLD |
This is a beaultiful hollow-stem champange in Hawkes’ Marquise pattern. I’ve had similar stemware but they had solid stems. These stems are particularly fun to use as the champagne bubbles actually are clearly visible traveling upward through them.
The Marquise pattern consists of a chain of richly cut hobstars divided by fans. The entire rest of the piece is covered with elegant flute cutting which extend to the base of the stem. The base of the piece is covered with a rayed hobstar.
The champagne measures 5 1/8″ tall and 3 3/4″ wide and is in perfect condition. I can’t seem to find a signature and suspect that the base was at one time touched up because of this. There is still tons of room between the edge and the rayed star so I don’t think anything drastic was ever done. A beautiful, elegant glass for your viewing pleasure!
