This is a Georgian, trumpet-bowl plain stem wine glass with air tear dating from the middle of the 18th century, c1750.

The stem leads to a conical, folded foot which measures 7.8 cm (3.1 inches) in diameter. The glass is 16.2 cm (6.5 inches) in height. There are no chips, cracks, scratches or any obvious signs of restoration. There are a couple of tiny unburst bubbles in the metal of the bowl
