Bonnet glass I believe ?
« on: February 25, 2024, 12:13:38 AM »
Just 3.5 inches tall, lots of wear with a lemon-squeezer foot, early 1800 ?

Nice. There is one very nearly identical to this, no.578, in Bickerton’s Eighteenth Century English Drinking Glasses. Same shape and size, also with notched rim and ribs, collar above rudimentary stem. The foot in the book has a stepped square-moulded lemon squeezer base. So in the book the foot is square like yours but with another smaller square layer on top instead of the first round layer on yours. He calls it a Monteith (which I thought was the same thing as a Bonnet) and c1800.

  The Winterthur Museum has similar example, only differs in the pattern molding in the bowl. The link address way too convoluted for me her. This link will take you to the collection site, click on the glass section and enter1974.0148 in the search bar, should pop right up.museumcollection.winterthur.org/index.php#.Y1cHFS2ZP1x

  Bonnet glass will not get the results you want at Winterthur or CMOG. better results with "salt mold blown" "Monteith" maybe a handful of results. To see all their bonnet glasses simply "salt" and "monteith" you will have to wade through 59 pages of mostly pressed lacy.

  Too bad. I had no trouble on my 13 yr old MAC. But its getting there. As near as I can tell it mirrors yours in every aspect except the pattern molding in the bowl. The Winterthur examples pattern molding is a perfect match to the bowl in this glass pictured except they sheared it off at only two rows of diamonds above the pointed flutes. Winterthur says English C. 1800-1810. 6.2 cm dia. x 8.45 cm height

Nice glass. These do seem to be dated around 1800. How thick is the bowl on this glass? I have a similar glass posted on here "Georgian glass " https://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,73378.0.html if your interested. I've heard somewhere that a Monteith glass is very similar but the bowl rim has a cut pattern with alternating points and rounds.
Cheers,
Keith
