THIS CHAMPAGNE GOBLET HAS ALWAYS LOOKED SO ART NOUVEAU TO ME. HOWEVER, WHEN I DISCOVERED THIS, ONE OF A PAIR, IN AN ANTIQUE STORE IN SHAKER HEIGHTS, ALMOST 40 YEARS AGO, WHILE SHOPPING WITH BERENICE KENT, BERENICE INSISTED THAT I PURCHASE THE PAIR, AND DECLARED THAT "THEY WERE PART OF THE SERVICE FROM VERSAILLES!" AND "THEY MUST HAVE BEEN TAKEN WHEN THE MOB OCCUPIED THE RESIDENCES OF THE KING, DURING THE REVOLUTION!" I BOUGHT THEM, FOR WHAT SEEMED LIKE A LOT OF BUCKS, SOLD ONE FOR WHAT I PAID FOR BOTH AND KEPT THIS AS A MEMORY OF MY SHOPPING EXPEDITION.....THERE YOU GO, MR. MINGA.....ENJOY....
