A superb pair of mid-19th-century champagne stirrup glasses. They have cup bowls with angular knops above hollow stems. Rare to find champagne examples, used while sitting on a horse where no foot is required. 

Historical Relevance 

During 1857–8, an uprising by sepoys against the East India Company was suppressed, an event that led to the end of Company rule in India and the transferral of administration to direct rule by the British government. The princely states were not affected and remained under British guidance.
