The International Exhibition: services in glass, by Pellatt and Co. 1862. Creator: Unknown
The International Exhibition: services in glass, by Pellatt and Co. 1862. The Prince of Wales has ordered a service...the mere fact that this noble person has procured it will induce thousands to select it who have little power of discriminating between the beautiful and the vulgar. With great pleasure we say that the service chosen by his Royal Highness is one of great simplicity and beauty, and reflects very favourably on the good taste of the purchaser...A display of such good taste on the part of the heads of the land is likely to be very serviceable in bringing about the advancement of art. The service of the Prince of Wales consists of 96 sherry-glasses, 72 claret-glasses, 36 finger-glasses, 36 wine-coolers, 12 quart decanters, 18 pint decanters, 24 water caraffes and tumblers, 6 claret-jugs, 4 sets of jugs and goblets, 36 ice-plates, 36 liqueur-glasses, 4 dozen bowls, and 48 champagnes. The service for the Viceroy of Egypt is not in such thoroughly good taste as that of the Prince of Wales. It is more showy and less refined, and its enrichment is not in a very high style of art, yet it has elegance and beauty. The small decanters are very elegant in shape; so are the wineglasses, but the large decanters are rather heavy'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862
