Hi ,I know very little about this type of glass , but if it was a rummer I’d date it about 1800 ? .It has loads of wear on the base , which also has a few chips.The drops..?,are all a bit different from each other and I’m not sure about how it was made,the base certainly moulded .Any thoughts , thanks .

And the other bit I think is moulded

There are two very similar [ same form ] examples in the Corning Museum. You can look them up on their website using the "explore the collections" search function. Type in the ascension numbers as follows 50.2.85 A.B and 51.2.221 A.B    Although the upper section are cut same type pressed foot, etc. For an American example ascension number 50.4.240

The urn shaped middle section I would call gadrooned. A very interesting example, I would not hesitate to add to my collection.The date of about 1800 seems to be a good guess as the corning examples date anywhere from last quarter of 18th to first quarter of 19th century.

The bobeche and prisms may be a later addition.
