This is a Georgian, English double series opaque twist wine glass dating from the middle of the 18th century, c1765. The glass is in excellent condition for its age. It shows age related wear and tear to the rim of the foot commensurate with some 250 years of use. It has a rough pontil mark on the underside of the foot. The glass has an ogee-shaped bowl measuring 5.5 cm (2.2 inches) in diameter at the rim. The bowl is engraved with a basket of flowers on which sits a bird along with sprigs of flora and a flying dove-like bird carrying a sprig. The bowl sits on a double series opaque twist stem consisting of two white enamel strands wound around a central gauze. The stem ends in a conical foot which measures 7.1 cm (2.8 inches) in diameter. The glass is 14.5 cm (5.8 inches) in height. There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any obvious evidence of restoration. There are a few tiny unburst bubbles in the metal of the foot dating from manufacture.Lead...
