The glassware line up from different eras
but still serving up the same brew.
When in doubt serve champagne.
Champagne is one drink in France
that can be served anytime of the day or night.
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.
A 1900s " good morning" juice glass.
A rare eighteen century (1700s) an aperitif glass.
The base of glasses this old
often have wider base and are
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 from the 1950s.
A 1900s French antique bistro glass
etched with the word: "fete"
(Feast- celebration)
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
and the stars appear
dazzling as the guests
dinner sounds are heard
glasses are raised
singsong spills
wetting one's lip
a kiss to the rim.
