Drawn trumpet folded foot wine glasses... but how old?

 Thanks Carolyn,I think I'm fairly happy with the shape and size of the base , just wasn't sure about the colour (of one in particular).
Thank you Peter, maybe I can show you some other pieces I've wondered about for a while.  I'd like to get hold of a copy, possibly to use but also as a reference. I imagine they all get sold as genuine though. How large do these glasses get by the way? Also in the auction and obviously from the same vendor,  were some similar short stem folded foot pieces I took to be vases (like a lager glass on a tiny stem)... they must have been vases..I hope so anyway they only went for £30 with about 5 OR 6 victorian decanters.

HI ,
          Later copies of 18thc drawn trumpets pop up all over the place , Ebay , auctions etc , though most times are listed as genuine,the others you mention with very short stems and large bowls sound like they could have been copies and hence the price,genuine examples can be up to 12 ins tall though the larger they get the more expensive they can be ,into the high hundreds for a nice one without any engraving.

 With regard to feet on Georgian glasses there is an often quoted less than factual statement,that all feet must be bigger than the bowl size , this holds good for most ordinary plain footed smaller examples though there are very many that break this rule that are in origional condition and of course if the foot is folded and origional to the glass then there can be no argument that it is origional , many larger bowled glasses have feet both plain and folded that are smaller than the bowl, as said the rule usually applies to smaller glasses with plain conical feet,though no foot should not be dismissed as having had a trim based on size alone , inspection is the final deciding factor.14 in my exhibition is 11ins tall and 22 is 9 ins tall (both with folded feet smaller than their bowls)

Please feel free to mail me any pics of glasses that you would like an opinion on ,17th and 18thc  glass is what we do , all day every day  ;D

cheers ,
             Peter.

I stand corrected. Confused, but corrected.

  You will find a typical repro here on ebay ,probably very late 19th or early 20th c.          Item number:   360279425680

Thanks Peter,
But what is it in the picture that helps you date it? The shape i guess , as it is hard to see the colour.
These would do fine for me as part of a harlequin set .
Those vases I mentioned from the same auction were very likely 12" glasses possibly copies though. Wish i had bought them. I've found a similar one in my collection that has always confused me. I bought it as a vase for relatively nothing, folded foot but engraved with the barley and vines or hops. I thought someone had been practicing engraving. However it was so knackered inside I haven't touched it.It was scratched and either waterstained or limed as it had been used as a vase for years. But reading this site over the years I believe much of this may be rectified . Ill post it after ive had a go at cleaning the limescale.
