There are numerous documented examples of Jacobite engraved goblets combining thistles with roses and thistles with sunflowers and carnations. The flower in bloom is always accompanied by a single closed rose bud even when not a rose itself and a moth or butterfly in flight. These are not simply ‘flower’d glasses’. The most widely known example for those with the antiquated tomes of yore appears in The Jacobites and Their Drinking Glasses p101 in the chapter discussing disguised glasses although as in this case the disguise may be a very thin veil.
