Possible Georgian tavern glass ?
« on: Yesterday at 09:00:42 AM »
Hi all , found this Bell bowl solid stem wine glass at a bootfair over the weekend,it’s a bit over 14.5 cm in height and I would say soda glass .The foot is not folded but thin and you can feel wear using the finger nail test .My thoughts are continental and possibly 1750ish.There are all the normal small air bubbles and inclusions with light scratching at the bottom of the bowl (maybe a clue to what it was used for?)…any thoughts gratefully accepted,thanks .
