Wine Drinking Glass Jacobite Engraved 1706 & Cunningham Clan Crest, circa 1740

About the Item

This is a very good, English, mid-Georgian, handblown, wine drinking glass, with strong Jacobite relevance; the bowl having 1706 engraved on one side, with the Cunningham family crest to the reverse side and dating to the George II period of the mid-18th century, circa 1740. These glasses are very collectable. This wine glass is hand-blown from English lead glass. It is heavy and has a soft grey color. The glass has a beautifully drawn waisted bell bowl which continues into a thick solid stem leading to a conical foot having a rough snapped-off pontil mark to the underside. The bowl is finely engraved with what we think are the arms for the Cunningham Family Crest of a crown coronet and shield, with a stork holding a snake in its beak, within the shield. The date "1706" is engraved on the reverse side, which may refer to the start of the negotiations for the act of union with Scotland as 1706 is often seen as the start of the Jacobite risings in the 18th century. Dimensions: Bowl rim diameter: 2.3 inches. Foot diameter: 2.63 inches. Height: 6 inches. The glass has a good ring to it when tapped with a finger. Overall a very historically interesting English Georgian wine glass. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CUNNINGHAM FAMILY Blazon: Out Of A Ducal Coronet Or, A Mount Vert, Thereon A Stork Statant, Holding In Its Beak a Snake with a coiled Tail.
