George V (George Frederick Ernest Albert; 3 June 1865 – 20 January 1936) was King of the United Kingdom and the British Dominions. and Emperor of India from 6 May 1910 until his death. George was a grandson of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert and the first cousin of Tsar Nicholas II of Russia and Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany.
The glass itself is of a very high standard both in manufacture and engraving and was probably made by one of the leading glassmakers of that time. however I can’t find any other examples on the web. in my book library or for sale anywhere…so rather a rare piece and at over 100 years old an antique in its own right.
