    Considering that the BCS snifter is trading for Fou Foune or King Henry (maybe both), you shouldn't have a problem.

    Best of luck. These are very difficult to find and have traded even up for some pretty nice bottles. Definitely worth it though. Its a beautiful glass.

    I'd probably consider trading a fou foune for one...

    I can't justify spending all my money for a wallet.

    Agreed...unfortunately I'm a fanatical wallet collector.

    can someone chime in to see what this glass traded for. I thinking it would take more than fou foune and king henry to get one

    This is a large aquatic mammal in the glassware world. Its gonna take a serious bottle to land one or you have to get lucky. Something more along the lines of old vintage lambic or other glass whales but fou foune and kh would be good extras in a trade involving one of these glasses.

    Get in line lol! Like jsilva said, these are almost non existent and would take a pretty hefty trade to aquire one, and probably with someone over seas. Best of luck, I know a few of us on here have been looking for over a year+ now :/

    Crianza Helena was turned down straight up for an Iris glass in the last couple of months. Expect to offer up a Framboos + for one of these. Correct me if I'm wrong, but they were a one-time, limited production run from the initial US release of Iris (late 1990's/early 00's). Anyone that's used the balloon style Cantillon glass knows how easily they break, when washing, setting down on a table,etc.. so its likely that the scarcity is due to the glasses intrinsic nature of fragility.
