Hi all
I picked this glass up at the weekend, Its not normally the sort of thing i go for but rather liked it.
Im not great with drinking glasses but im assuming its English, the shape i think is a flute and i think its Victorian.. how did i do?
can anybody give me anymore info
It stands at 16cm tall 6.1cm rim diameter 6.6cm foot diameter
The base is slightly concave with a polished circular pontil mark. It does have good wear to the very outer edge.
many thanks
michelle

OK.  I'll bite.
A panel-moulded ale glass c1790-1820, is my suggestion.
Very nice.

jonchellycain:
Oh blimey, a bit older than what i thought then, georgian
thanks
michelle

Chris Harrison:
Better wait for a proper expert   ;D

Is it my eyes, or is the glass slightly wonky?  My auntie has a couple of wonky Georgian wine glasses. It's apparently quite common from the days before proper lehrs. For some reason I prefer them like that!

jonchellycain:
Thanks again Chris. Yes the mdiddle stem section is quite wonky almost bends in the middle of the stem.
