wINE & DINE<br />
Glassware<br />
HIsTORY<br />
During the 18th century, beverages where served from a<br />
ladle beside the table. The cupbearer went from guest to<br />
guest who drank from the same glass and between drinks<br />
rinsed the glasses in a glass rinser. In the middle of the<br />
19th century it became usual with different models and<br />
complete sets of glassware.<br />
HOw?<br />
Glassware can be endlessly varied. Old, new, inherited, cut,<br />
coloured, crystal, on a stem, cylinder shaped, cheap or<br />
expensive.<br />
Glassware will give radiance to the table setting and create<br />
a dynamic with its height.<br />
If you want to create a strict elegance it’s nice with a complete<br />
set with everything from champagne flutes to sherry<br />
and schnapps glasses.<br />
The glassware should be placed in the same order they are<br />
to be used; from right to left with the water glass at the far<br />
right.<br />
The host or hostess always proposes the first toast.<br />
During dinner, you don’t need to nod towards each guest<br />
for every toast.<br />
A PIECE OF ADVICE<br />
Table ware with a gilt lining should<br />
be washed by hand, so should<br />
earthenware from the 19th century<br />
as they easily crack and become<br />
discoloured.<br />
Decor that is underneath the glaze<br />
is durable, especially chinese 18th<br />
century in under glaze blue. These<br />
can even be machine washed.<br />
Enjoy your glassware - and drinks!<br />
