A rare liquor barrel in cut-crystal

A rare French liquor barrel with its plate and nine cut crystal glasses, with an engraved and gilded bronze mounting. The form of glasses is identical to the liquor barrel, with a salt grain diamond cut. The barrel rests on a gilded bronze base decorated with dolphins, and presents a tap and a cork out of bronze. The circular plate is fitted with an engraved and gilded bronze apron, and rests on three feet representing a female mask.
