The conical shaped body rising to a tapering neck with broad vertical flutes beneath a flaring rim, the midsection featuring the etched Royal Cypher & Crown for King George V, (reign period 1910-1936), the underside decorated with star cut detail. Most likely manufactured by Royal Brierley Crystal (formerly Stevens & Williams) who in 1919 were awarded their 1st Royal Warrant as Glassmakers to the British Royal Family by King George V. A most handsome and truly unique piece of glass tableware in extremely good overall condition that would most certainly grace any table setting.
