Exhibit Antiques has dated this Georgian Facet Cut Dram Glass to the Georgian era.
A fine 18th-century Georgian facet cut dram glass, dating to c1780.
Of all the 18th-century drinking glass forms, facet cut drams are, alongside air twist drams, among the most difficult to find.
Occasionally, we acquire several examples together from collections that have been assembled over many years. However, as a general rule, these glasses are exceptionally difficult to source.
Whether this is due to relatively small numbers originally being produced or a particularly low survival rate is difficult to establish. What we can say, from our own experience, is that facet cut drams are few and far between when compared with other 18th-century dram glasses.
