We have always and quite rightly in my opinion “underplayed” such glasses by describing them as “Jacobite sympathy” . We have a copy of “History in Glass. subtitled  A coronation exhibition of royal. historical. political and social glasses commemorating eighteenth and nineteenth century events. ” -Arthur Churchill May 28th 1937. 

For those lucky enough to possess a copy of a book with the longest title imaginable please take a look at plate 14 glass 63. The same engraving is simply described as “Jacobite”. despite the fact that the cause was a forlorn hope by the date of manufacture.
