Exhibit Antiques has dated this piece to the Georgian era.
A very fine antique Georgian wine glass dating to 1760.
A well proportioned glass, it has a bell bowl with a solid section at the base.
Conical foot.
Finding a solid cable in an opaque twist stem is very rare and they tend to be reserved as the inner element of a triple twist, either as a thin solid vertical cable as the innermost element, or if you have an eagle eye, as a thin vertical cable within an actual gauze, which is kind of cool. We can't recall ever having or seeing another solid inner element on a double series glass, thus our attribution as a rare twist.
