This is a Georgian, composite stem wine 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 6.5 cm (2.6 inches) in diameter at the rim. The bowl is plain and sits on two collars, a short piece of plain stem above a long multi spiral air twist stem with shoulder and basal knops. The stem leads to a conical foot which measures 7.7 cm (3.1 inches) in diameter. The glass is 16.5 cm (6.6 inches) in height. There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any obvious signs of restoration. There are some tiny black inclusions in the metal of the collars dating from manufacture.
Good, sturdy, English lead glass, it weighs in at 180 g. ( ~ 6 oz.).
