This has most of the attributes of an 18th century wine glass. The observant will notice a few omissions and errors.
Firstly this wine glass lacks any marvering lines on the stem. there are no touch spots or pucella marks in the bowl. The fold in the foot symmetrical and too thick . The glass itself is too bright and there is little wear.
On the positive side of the equation this glass may be used with less trepidation than when using the 18th century original.
If there are any Jane Eyre fans out there or anyone re-enacting Dangerous Liaisons or the Vicar of Wakefield. then this could be just the prop. This is completely unsuitable for Outlander fans. this glass is far too accurate to be associated with the highly entertaining and yet thoroughly misleading historical soap opera.
