Description

This is an exceptionally beautiful Georgian opaque twist wine glass c1760.

The round funnel bowl is engraved with a fruiting vine. two leaves and one bunch of grapes growing from the same stem and a moth in flight. By way of pure conjecture many times have we seen this ratio of features with one rose. two buds and one moth? The stem features a spiral gauze with a solid core. This is a “double series” even though it seems to be a single series at first glance. The foot is conical and it has a snapped pontil.

English lead. no chips. no cracks and no restoration.

The glass is 6 1/16th inches tall with a 2 inch bowl and a 3 inch foot.
