Topic: Please help date this one pint tavern rummer

[nick.a]

Hi,
This one pint tavern rummer looks to have a moulded base ( the one pint lettering is very uniform) with attached stem and foot. The foot has a swirled, fire polished/tooled look to it. It's rather hefty at 798g and stands 6 3/4" /173mm tall with a bowl diameter of 3 3/4" / 95mm.
Any help with a date gratefully received.
Best Regards
Nick

are the marks on the inside or the outside nick?           I've had something similar for a year or two, with the marks on the inside in relief, and I thought at first it was a Sowerby glass, but don't think I found it in the CD catalogues.
They're very chunky things - you could fell half the pub if one was thrown.

Taking a bit of an educated guess I would probably go for c. 1900 or a tad later  -  such marks I don't think I've seen on older glasses, but could be wrong.

Hi Paul,
Like yours, the letters are impressed to the inside of the bowl (word 10 of my post should have read 'bowl' and not 'base'). The stem and foot seem too irregular to be moulded. The lettering does have an early 20thc feel to it, but I read somewhere that rummers had become unfashionable and stopped being made in the late 19thc.
I agree it's a monster, and when full, suitable only for body builders .
Many thanks
Nick
