set of six regency glass rinsers

A set of six early 19th century Regency period wine glass rinsers or wine glass coolers. These rinsers have cut glass faceted sides and two shaped lips around the top, ajacent to each other.

This set has a few minor chips to the top edges, these are photographed and there are no cracks.
