Historical Relevance
As part of the Scott Falk collection, these are fine examples, the hollow stems allowing the fluid to fill to their base which is a fun and unusual feature. This particular form was made from the 17th century in Holland, the design being popular and manufactured across Europe. These are lead examples are were probably made in England for export to continental Europe in the early 20th century.
