This is a scarce Georgian, multi spiral air twist stem firing glass dating from the middle of the 18th century, c1750.
The glass is in excellent condition for its age. It shows age related wear and tear to the rim of the foot consistent with some 250 years of use. It has a rough pontil mark on the under side of the foot.
The glass has a bell-shaped bowl measuring 6.2 cm (2.5 inches) in diameter at the rim. The bowl is plain and sits on a short multi spiral air twist stem and a conical, thick, firing foot which measures 7 cm (2.8 inches) in diameter. The glass is 11.5 cm (4.6 inches) in height. There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any obvious signs of restoration. There is one long, thin, diagonal unburst bubble in the metal of the bowl dating from manufacture.
Good, sturdy, English lead glass, it weighs in at 210 g. ( ~ 7 1/2 oz.).
