This is not a fake. it was never made to deceive. It is a Victorian wine glass and the engraving was almost certainly undertaken in the 1920s when there was a resurgent interest in Georgian glassware and prices responded accordingly.

In terms of net present value the prices paid in the 1920s by collectors for Jacobite glasses was an all time high.
