Comment
Within the air twist category of 18th-century glasses, the double series has an approx 1-10 ratio to a single series. So quite a rare twist. Also, as you may have noticed, there are substantially more wine glasses than the are ale glasses surviving from the 18th century. A fine tall example and certainly a great addition to any collection.
