George III Firing Drinking Glass Hand Blown Facet Stem Engraved Bowl, circa 1785
About the Item
This is a fine English, hand blown drinking glass, made from lead glass in the 18th century, circa 1785.
Short, heavy, thick stemmed glasses like this with a thick foot are known as firing glasses, as they were used for toasts at people gatherings.
The glass has a good drawn trumpet bowl over a thick, facet cut stem leading to a heavy, wide, conical thick foot, having a snapped off pontil to its underside. The bowl has been beautifully hand engraved with a trailing vine pattern.
Dimensions: Height 4.19, rim diameter 2.38, foot diameter 2.75 inches
Condition: Overall very good condition. No damage.
Please Note that authentic, English hand blown, lead glass often has inclusions and imperfections which is normal to the hand blowing process and makes every glass unique. This glass has a small grit / slag inclusion within the foot and a very short blowing line to the underside, probably from a burst air bubble.
