Originating in 17th-century Europe, chinoiserie is a decorative style inspired by Western conceptions of the “exotic” cultures of eastern Asia. Characterized by traditional Chinese subjects and materials, the popularity of this distinctive design approach endures to this day. Our CHINOISERIE collection includes three animal-themed motifs that are available either individually or as a set of six glasses (sets include two glasses with each design). A fourth motif, MENAGERIE, features all three creatures and is only available in large decorative shapes. Each motif in the collection features an exquisitely hand-engraved and sandblasted image of its subject surrounded by sumptuous depictions of foliage, fruits, and silk tassels. Popular colors include black, ink, and red.
