ANTIQUE #SA1159520

Georgian, English, Six-sided Pedestal Stem Wine Glass, Diamonds To Shoulders

Status: This item has been sold
Sold by: The World is Made of Glass Ltd.

This is a scarce Georgian, English pedestal stem wine glass dating from the early 18th century, c1725.
 
The glass is in excellent condition for its age. This means, of course, that it shows the age related wear and tear to both the rim of the bowl and to the rim of the foot commensurate with some 300 years of use. It has a rough pontil mark on the bottom of the foot.
 
The glass has a rounded funnel-shaped bowl measuring 6.8 cm (2.7 inches) in diameter at the rim. The bowl is plain with a heavy base and it sits on a six-sided pedestal stem with moulded diamonds to the shoulders. The stem ends in a conical, folded foot that measures 6.6 cm (2.6 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 is a small inclusion (probably clinker) in the metal of the stem dating from manufacture.
 
It is made from lead metal. It weighs 130 g. (~ 4 1/2 oz.).
