Description
A magnificent Georgian balustroid glass goblet c1740. It has a round funnel bowl above a superb knopped stem consisting of a small inverted baluster. containing an air tear. with cushion knops above and below and a further larger hollow inverted baluster knop with cushion knops below. Conical folded foot with snapped pontil.
It measures 7 3/16 inches tall with a 3 ¼ inch bowl and 3 3/8 inch foot.
A very interesting lead glass for the academic. The light weight construction implies very definite north European influences and had remarkable similarities to museum exhibits attributed to Liege.
The glass is in superb condition. with no chips cracks or restoration and shows excellent tooling and striations. It has a minor scratch to the bowl which is insignificant.
