Set of Latticework Tea Glasses

The New York Botanical Garden in association with Lunt Silversmiths, a leader in innovative silver design, has developed a distinctive collection of tableware, decorative accessories, and gifts inspired by some of the finest examples of botanical art in the Rare Book Collections of the Garden’s LuEsther T. Mertz Library. Combining beautiful botanical imagery with a modern sensibility, these exquisitely crafted pieces are objects to be treasured as heirlooms.

The elegant, yet simple tea glasses are inspired by ornamental garden bridge designs for European gardens in William Halfpenny’s Rural Architecture in the Chinese Taste, published in London in 1752. The 5” tall glasses are nestled in silver plate latticework sleeves with red lacquer handles. The glasses can be removed for cleaning.
