The International Exhibition: services in glass, by Pellatt and Co. 1862. Creator: Unknown
The International Exhibition: services in glass, by Pellatt and Co. 1862. The Prince of Wales has ordered a service...the mere fact that this noble person has procured it will induce thousands to select it who have little power of discriminating between the beautiful and the vulgar. With great pleasure we say that the service chosen by his Royal Highness is one of great simplicity and beauty, and reflects very favourably on the good taste of the purchaser...A display of such good taste on the part of the heads of the land is likely to be very serviceable in bringing about the advancement of art. The service of the Prince of Wales consists of 96 sherry-glasses, 72 claret-glasses, 36 finger-glasses, 36 wine-coolers, 12 quart decanters, 18 pint decanters, 24 water caraffes and tumblers, 6 claret-jugs, 4 sets of jugs and goblets, 36 ice-plates, 36 liqueur-glasses, 4 dozen bowls, and 48 champagnes. The service for the Viceroy of Egypt is not in such thoroughly good taste as that of the Prince of Wales. It is more showy and less refined, and its enrichment is not in a very high style of art, yet it has elegance and beauty. The small decanters are very elegant in shape; so are the wineglasses, but the large decanters are rather heavy'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases The International Exhibition: services in glass, presented by Pellatt and Co. in 1862. The image offers a glimpse into the grandeur and elegance of the exhibition, with two exquisite glassware sets on display. The set on the left, ordered by the Prince of Wales, boasts understated sophistication with its simple yet beautiful design. The set's popularity is not only due to its royal association but also its timeless appeal, which would inspire countless admirers to appreciate its beauty. The set includes 96 sherry-glasses, 72 claret-glasses, 36 finger-glasses, 36 wine-coolers, 12 quart decanters, 18 pint decanters, 24 water carafes and tumblers, 6 claret-jugs, 4 sets of jugs and goblets, 36 ice-plates, 36 liqueur-glasses, 4 dozen bowls, and 48 champagne flutes. The set's refined simplicity is a testament to the good taste of the purchaser and a significant step forward in the advancement of art. In contrast, the set on the right, intended for the Viceroy of Egypt, showcases a more extravagant and showy design. Although not as refined as the Prince of Wales' set, it possesses an undeniable elegance and beauty. The small decanters and wineglasses exhibit elegant shapes, while the larger decanters, though heavy, add a sense of grandeur to the display. The enrichment of the Viceroy's set may not be in the highest style of art, but it certainly adds to the exhibition's diverse representation of glassware designs.
