Gorgeous Set of Six Victorian Cut & Frosted Ice Plates

A delightful set of six cut glass plates, dating from the Victorian period. The plates have frosted bodies with a drop centre featuring a starburst cut star. These attractive examples are probably ice plates and would have been used with crushed ice and a bowl set on them, to keep food chilled. Nowadays, they would make useful dessert or side plates and a surviving set of six is a good find.
