British & Irish Glass / Re: A drinking glass for period identification
« Last post by Ekimp on Yesterday at 11:03:23 PM »Regarding the engraving, Bickerton plate 230 shows a conical bowl, plain straight stem gin glass c.1740 with pretty much identical engraving to that on Laird’s. The quality of engraving also looks about the same from what I can see. Similar glass shown on Scottish antiques here: https://scottishantiques.com/Georgian-drinking-glasses/antique-gin-glass/?product_id=43464
Scottish antiques also have similar shapes to Laird’s dated mid 18th century for example: https://scottishantiques.com/Georgian-drinking-glasses/firing-dram-glass/port-glass-folded-foot/ and https://scottishantiques.com/Georgian-drinking-glasses/firing-dram-glass/?product_id=1011
Still not sure what makes one c.1810 and another c.1750. Laird, is the diameter of the foot larger than that of the rim?
