Topic: Is this a Georgian rummer type glass?

[Laird]

I have this heavy drinking glass, engraved with vines and grapes. I suppose it might be described as a rummer.
Rim diameter is 9.5 cm, and height 10.5 cm.
I suspect it could be Georgian. It's not a design I have seen before.
Opinions?

What does the base look like?, its the most important part, its shaped like drinking glases from the 1930's to 1960's.

It has a polished pontil, while there are plenty of the expected 'usage scratches' on the base rim.
From my reading, I understand that a rough or polished pontil is not a definitive indication of age.
The engraving design has the 'sense' of similar engravings I have seen on early Victorian glassware.

Please would you add a photo showing the base as that will help more than just a written description.

The base....

It's probably Walsh or Webb's1930's , Google Walsh fruiting vine glass and you we see similar shapes.

Yeah I'd say early 20th century and rummers are usually taller, have short stems with a wide foot and open bowl (usually a round funnel or bucket shape bowl) They would also be made in 2 or 3 pieces joined together not one whole piece like yours, that simply looks like a tumbler shaped to look like a cup. Hope that helps!

I don't think that looks like the Walsh design.  But difficult to tell on the photographs that have been shown.

I have viewed examples of Walsh glasses online and there are so many similarities that I am confident that this is indeed a Walsh glass.
Many thanks for all the help.
