Old or new?

Is this glass really old or a modern "in the style of" one?

Can you please size your pictures so they are 600 x 400 so that when they enlarge, some detail on them can be seen?
Also a picture of the base of the piece is always required as is a close up of the glass and the size.
On this occasion I have no idea at all about Georgian glass, but for future reference for other searchers, these details are important.
Many thanks

Hi ,
           I believe the decoration refers to King Charles the 12th of Sweden  1697 to 1718. the glass is in a form for that period but the Swedish also made commemorative pieces 100 and 200 yrs later better photos will help with trying to date the glass ,if you have hi res pics and you want to send them feel free .

 Cheers,
                   Peter.
