Collecting drinking glasses from the 'Bickerton period' can be expensive, and doubly so if something turns out not to be 'right' - collectors tend to be impulsive (like me) and mistakes can be made which doesn't matter if it's twenty quid, but does if it's three hundred squids  -  caution is needed if buying from an unknown source  -  on-line auction sites can be tempting and drinking glasses have been the most active area of collecting, which sellers know.    The word Georgian is a very loaded word.                    On the plus side these are an investment and wonderful to own and hold  -  though I could never bring myself to use them.      Best of luck to anyone who collects such pieces, but remember to be cautious.  :)

These comments don't, of course, refer to the glass in question.
