Topic: Age and dating of gadrooned/flammiform ale glasses

[ADJC1]

Hi all. A quick question regarding flammiform ale glasses.

I have been reading Hayne's Glass through the ages, and on page 292 he states:

"Dwarf Ales are assumed to follow, and here again controversy could arise as to dates of origin. Those with a fairly short stem at the top of which is a propeller-like formation with four or five pinched wings are conventionally regarded as of late seventeenth-century date. So, too, are some without the wings. They have folded feet and forms of gadrooning, plain, sunken, and flammiform, and bear some resemblance to certain glasses with spiked gadrooning rare and much more safely regarded as of that early period. But there are gadrooned plain-stemmed ales of no earlier date than 1750 at best, and there are flammiform and otherwise gadrooned Dwarf ales with plain feet which are a hallmark of c. 1800."

I'm interested in the last part of this paragraph. Most flammiform glasses that I've come across online, in books and museums aren't dated later than 1760. Just wondering if anyone has an example of these glasses which are 'c. 1800'?

Any additional information will be welcomed!

Many thanks,

Adam
