This is a Georgian, English, double series opaque twist wine glass dating from the second half of the 18th century, c1765.

The bowl is plain and sits on a double series opaque twist stem consisting of a thick white enamel tape wound around a central twist of two enamel cords. The stem ends in a conical foot which measures 7.1 cm (2.8 inches) in diameter. The glass is 16.3 cm (5.5 inches) in height. There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any obvious evidence of restoration.
