Drawn trumpet folded foot wine glasses... but how old?
david31162:
I've been looking for this type of glass for ages, but are they Georgian 1750 ish?? Paid quite a lot for these plus a couple of other old glasses(i'll post later) but not near the prices I've noticed when looking to buy another 4. It's fair to say they are a matched pair slightly different colour glass.
Both are 7inches high. Are repro's made? Not sure exactly what makes me unsure not the shape or the way they were made..perhaps the lighter colour of one and the price. Any ideas? No worries if they are not so old, they are keepers and would probably get more use if of no value. Just 4 more to find.
Thank you. David

hello David - can't seem to reach the pictures on the photobox images - the size being shown is certainly bigger than 700. Might this be the reason? The first one opens o.k. however. :)

Hi ,
Looks like the real thing to me :hiclp: , c 1750 ish, copies are made and are pretty abundant though are always very bright in the metal and slightly off form ,thems too thick etc , although untill seen in the hand I could not be 110% sure so I am afraid 99% is all I can give at the moment, to assemble a matching set would be pretty difficult as this form is made in a multitude of sizes though surviving origional sets do exist and can sometimes be purchased , the one you link to is of the same basic form as your 2 but probably not a very good match if trying to make a set , and the price is a high retail price, in the UK you could expect to pay around £100/150 (eBay, local auctios etc) for this type of glass , though larger sizes may cost more.(see my exhibition catalogue in the refference section for some large ones )
If you need any more info or would like me to look at some more photos ,contact can be made via email on the left.
Congrats on a good find , :thup:
Peter.

Wouldn't the bases have to be larger for these to be that old? Or am i misremembering what somebody put on the board at some point.
