This is a Georgian incised twist stem wine glass dating from the middle of the 18th century, c1760.
The glass is in excellent condition for its age. This means, of course, that it shows age related wear and tear to both the rim of the bowl and to the rim of the foot consistent with years of use. It has a rough pontil mark to the underside of the foot.
The glass has a rounded funnel-shaped bowl measuring 6.8 cm (2.7 inches) in diameter at the rim. The bowl is plain and sits on an incised twist stem that leads to a conical, folded foot which measures 7.3 cm (2.9 inches) in diameter. The glass is 15.5 cm (6.2 inches) in height. There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any obvious evidence of restoration.
It is made from lead metal weighing 153 g. (~ 5 1/2 oz.).
