This is a Georgian, English, swag and tail-engraved firing glass dating from the second half of the 18th century.
The glass is in excellent condition for its age. This means, of course, that it shows age related wear and tear to the rim of the base consistent with over 200 years of use. It has a rough pontil mark on the underside of the base.
The glass has a waisted bucket-shaped bowl measuring 6 cm. (2.4 inches) in diameter at the rim. The bowl is engraved with hatched swags and tails under the rim. The base measures 4.4 cm. (1.7 inches) in diameter. The glass is 7 cm (2.8 inches) in height. There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any obvious evidence of restoration.
It is made from lead metal weighing 120 g. (~ 4 oz.).
