Additional Information : This is the earliest and rarest English glass goblet that we have offered for sale. We believe that this is also missing a cover with an elaborate finial. There were numerous Venetian glass blowers in England and this is very much in a Venetian style. It is impossible to attribute this to any of the early English glass manufactories. it is not possible to even eliminate Ravenscroft despite the absence of a seal.

Please see English Glass- R Charleston plate 30 for an example with cover held by the Museum of London
