Hi
I have recently acquired the DSOT wine glass shown in the pictures. It is a lovely little glass, very genuine but I am interested in finding out others' opinions on the engraving. There is a six petal stylised rose with a single closed bud to the right but there are 4 leaves whereas, Geoffery Seddon in The Jacobites and their drinking glasses, states that a single closed bud should be accompanied by 5 leaves (4 if there are 2 closed buds). There is also a jay bird in flight on the reverse. I assume that these are probably simply decorative features but what do others think. The engraving is fairly basic but similar to that on other mid-late 18th century glasses which I own. It is clearly nothing like the earlier identified (by letter) Jacobite glass engravers but I still wonder if it might have some significance. Any thought welcome, please!
