A similar pair in blue opaline glass was sold by Bonhams, 17 December 2008, lot 467. The same technique was used by Baccarat for the much acclaimed punch set shown at the Paris Exposition Universalle in 1867, the first time that this technique was exhibited. See J S Spillman, Glass from World's Fairs 1851-1904, Corning Museum of Glass (1986), pp.21-22 and fig.8.
