Additional Information : Sydney Compton- “English Glass” 1967 suggests that glasses of this form are late 17th century. The funnel bowl is set directly onto a conical foot. We contend that they were made from the late 17th century and into the mid 18th century . The quality and colour of the glass in this case would suggest 1700 to 1730.
