Lily of the Valley was a widely deployed symbol to represent the 'return of happiness' within a Jacobite context. 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 !
The Intire Glass Shop advertised Flower'd glasses on their trade card as early as 1742. With floral designs featuring prominently in decorators books of the period it seems entirely natural that an engraver would choose to use a theme from the natural world to adorn glassware, just as painters did for porcelain. This imay be a plausible reason for the engraving other than hidden support for a lost cause, just much less romantic and far less commercial, however on this occasion we will give the jacobite sympathies a little credence.
