This interesting pair of handblown Georgian deceptive glasses have a knopped stem. conical foot. and deceptive bowl. The thick glass of the bowl was designed to give the impression that the toastmaster was drinking a full glass while he himself avoided getting inappropriately drunk mid toast. Deceptive glasses are some of the most interesting Georgian drinking glasses and come in many different styles with baluster. opaque twist. air twist. and facet cut examples all known.
