Georgian Jacobite Plain Stem Wine Glass

18th century
Description

This is a Georgian, English, plain stem wine glass of probable Jacobite significance dating from the middle of the 18th century, c1770.

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 bucket-shaped bowl measuring 4.7 cm (1.9 inches) in diameter at the rim. The bowl is engraved with a border of small swags and tails above a rose bud and a sprig of leaves. The absence of an open rose would suggest that the glass was made after 1967 when James Stuart, The Old Pretender, died. The bowl sits on a plain stem and a conical, folded foot which measures 7.3 cm (2.9 inches) in diameter. The glass is 15.3 cm (6.1 inches) in height. There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any obvious evidence of restoration.

English lead glass weighing in at 115 g. (~ 4 oz.).

FAQs

Jacobite wine glasses were produced in Britain during the 18th century, often secretively decorated with symbols supporting the restoration of the Stuart monarchy. These glasses were used to drink toasts to the exiled Stuart princes, incorporating covert political iconography into everyday table glass.

Glasses from this era were typically hand-blown using English lead crystal, known for its density, clarity, and resonance. Stems were formed manually, foot rims were folded or flattened, and decorative elements were applied using wheel engraving.

Authentic pieces generally feature a snapped pontil mark on the base, minor irregularities from hand-blowing, and a slight greyish or dark cast characteristic of 18th-century lead glass. Natural wear patterns are usually present on the underside of the foot where it contacts surfaces.

Historical glassware can be displayed inside a modern glazed cabinet, arranged along a sideboard top, or grouped on floating shelves where backlight highlights the detailed wheel engraving and glass form.

Antique glass should be washed by hand in lukewarm water using mild detergent and soft cloths. Avoid dishwashers, extreme temperature changes, and harsh chemical cleaners to prevent clouding or thermal shock.
