The stems of most triple opaque twist glasses, which are rare, look crowded, but this is elegantly blown. 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 a rounded funnel-shaped bowl measuring 5.5 cm (2.2 inches) in diameter at the rim. The bowl is plain and sits on a rare triple series opaque twist stem consisting of a single white enamel cord interweaved with a gauze wound around a central thick white enamel cord.
