This Independent Date Guide was compiled by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. It works only from the photographs shown on this page and is never told the date the dealer has declared. It is a guide, not a guarantee of age, and occasional errors can occur.
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 5.8 cm (2.3 inches) in diameter at the rim. The bottom half of the bowl is moulded with slightly wrythened finger fluting.
The stem ends in a conical foot which measures 7.5 cm (3 inches) in diameter. The glass is 15 cm (6 inches) in height. There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any obvious evidence of restoration. There is a minute white inclusion (probably clinker) in the metal of the foot, dating from manufacture. There are two collectors' stickers attached to the foot.
Lead glass weighing in at 175 g. (~6 oz.).
