Mid-Georgian Ale Drinking Glass Handblown Engraved with Hops and Barley, Ca 1750

This is a very good English "RUMMER" drinking glass, which were originally drinking glasses used in English taverns in the late 18th and early 19th century. The glass is handblown and made from lead glass, having a soft greyish colour. It has an ovoid bowl, well engraved with a band of swags and tails on a short wrythen stem, sitting on a conical foot, having a snapped off pontil below. The bowl is also vertically cut with narrow panels which rise vertically from the stem and stop at the shoulder. Overall a very good example of a Georgian drinking glass...

Tulips were also used within acrostic sets. These are some of the ingredients of the typical Jacobite melodrama engraved upon period glassware! All the romantic intrigue of deposed royalty, a dalliance with a swooning local girl, desperate cross-country flight under the muzzles of musket-wielding troopers and their bloodthirsty commanders a tragic denouement on a desolate battlefield (and a confusing, irrelevant and untrue epilogue about someone hiding up a tree for good measure) - wow !
