Technical Description
A rare opaque twist wine glass dating to c1760.
It has a large Ogee bowl engraved with a cross hatched interlaced vesica band around the rim with the word FIDELITER (Latin for faithful or trustworthy) above a dexter arm vested and holding a sword with a distinctive indented or serrated back edge.
The crest is attributed to two Scottish families, Hamilton of Wishaw and Hamilton of Newton. The glass comes with a letter from The College of Arms in London sent to Mr Wallis in 2012 confirming their findings after Mr Wallis sent a photograph to them asking for help in identifying the crest. This will be supplied with the glass and a photograph of the letter is included below.
Sits on a double series opaque twist stem consisting of a pair of spiral tapes outside a gauze.
Probably unique, we have never come across another example of this glass.
