The glassware line up.
When in doubt serve champagne. Champagne is one drink in France you can serve anytime of the day or evening. I like that. It doesn't have to be for a special reason. This beauty is a Louis sixteen style champagne glass.I found six of them in a dusty box at a flea market. Dust not longer claims them.
1900s or there of, good morning juice glass.
A rare eighteen century (1700s) wine glass. The base of wine glasses this old are often wider than the rim. Slightly uneven in shape, and lightweight. This one is filled purposefully with marbles as to remind me to be careful with it… hopefully it will last another two hundred years.
A deep rose colored aperitif glass.
A French antique bistro glass is etched with the word: "fete" (feast, celebration. Celebrating the moment.
Paper cups are a rarity unless at a fast food joint. I love France for that even if I have to wash every glass by hand.
As evening falls the stars come out, the dinner sounds are heard, the raising of the glass, the toast, the welcome… the sharing of the moment.
