Technical Description
A fantastic Victorian Glass Rummer made for the Great Exhibition of London in 1851.
A very rare example, it has a large round funnel bowl engraved with a detailed scene from Winsor Castle, Nelson''s ship, the Victory as well as the Royal Coat of Arms.
Sits on a thick capstan stem and wide conical foot which has been engraved with Acorn leaves and has a snapped pontil.
This is the second of two similar glasses, the other now sold, and we would say that these are the first examples we have ever come across.
