{"product_id":"trio-of-glass-etched-ice-cream-coupe","title":"Mid Century Etched Glass Ice Cream Coupes in Amber, Set of Three","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThree small glass coupes with clear etched bowls, set on short stems and feet of warm amber glass, sold together as a trio. They date from around the 1960s or 1970s, when footed coupes were the proper way to serve ice cream at home, and the amber base was a favourite touch of the period, catching the light and throwing a little pool of gold onto the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEach bowl carries a delicate etched pattern that shows best when the glass is held up to a window, and the stems are sturdy, so these sit happily on a tray or a crowded dinner table without wobbling. Each coupe measures 9 x 7 cm, a generous size for two scoops of ice cream, a lemon posset or a chocolate mousse, and perfectly retro for a prawn cocktail if you are hosting a seventies supper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBeyond dessert, we like them filled with sugared almonds or wrapped sweets at Christmas, holding rings and earrings on a dressing table, or with a single floating bloom and a tea light as a low centrepiece. Amber glass looks especially good with warm wood, linen and natural textures, and beside brass candlesticks or a pale vintage tablecloth the colour really sings. Three is a lovely number for styling: grouped in a triangle on a shelf they look intentional, and if you are dining for two, there is one spare for the cook.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThey are in good vintage condition consistent with their age; please look through the photographs, which form part of the description. We recommend washing by hand to keep the glass at its best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAmber glass is enjoying a well deserved revival, and pieces like these bring colour to the table without shouting about it. Pair them with other vintage glassware to build a mismatched dessert set, or give them as a housewarming gift for someone who appreciates a proper pudding.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Blue Loft","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55372841419079,"sku":null,"price":16.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0850\/3921\/9015\/files\/D70D6355-F722-4D9C-9000-376BF319861D.jpg?v=1791742320","url":"https:\/\/www.theblueloft.co.uk\/products\/trio-of-glass-etched-ice-cream-coupe","provider":"The Blue Loft","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
