Wine and Water. Maker unknown (French), ca. 1870. Three toleware cones standing 10" high with openings 5 " in diameter are used in conjunction with a pedestal 9" high with a round top 9" in diameter. These props effect the transposition of glasses or decanters full of wine and water (though the magician does not touch the glasses). Each piece finished in dark green with gold accents. Glassware lacking, the finial of one cone replaced, finish worn and chipped; fair condition as expected. Scarce.
