DESCRIPTION:
A classic “Kit-Cat” type balustroid wine glass. This particularly elegant and well proportioned example has a drawn trumpet bowl above a balustroid stem comprised of a nicely centred elongated tear and an inverted baluster knop containing a tiny elongated tear all standing on a folded conical foot with broken pontil mark. Mysteriously, this type of glass has become known as a Kit-Cat glass, named after the glasses depicted in a painting of two members of the Kit-Cat Club holding wine glasses by Sir Godfrey Kneller (1646-1721). The mystery is - why have 1740 balustroid glasses with inverted baluster knops become identified with the 1720 heavy baluster glasses with the true-baluster knopped stems depicted by Kneller? The answer may well be that both glasses "wear their knops around their ankles".
DIMENSIONS:
Height – 6 inches;
Bowl diameter – 2⅜ inches;
Foot diameter – 2¾ inches.
CONDITION:
In excellent condition with a couple of enclosed air inclusions in the foot and normal signs of wear to the bowl and foot rims.

DESCRIPTION:
“Dwarf” ale glasses are so named not because they were used for a diminutive form of ale but because they had short, or as in this case, no stem. This fine example has a conical wrythen bowl with a flammiform fringe standing on a plain conical foot with broken pontil mark. There are two insignificant air inclusions, one each in the bowl and foot and foot has some chill marks to the underside. The glass is a lovely dark bluish grey tint indicative of an early date which may well be a bit earlier than that indicated above.
DIMENSIONS:
Height – 4 1/8 inches;
Bowl diameter – 2 1/8 inches;
Foot diameter – 2 1/4 inches.
CONDITION:
This glass is offered in excellent, original condition and shows normal patterns of wear to bowl rim and the underside of the foot.

DESCRIPTION: A fine example of an English Georgian sweetmeat glass constructed of lead/flint glass. The double ogee bowl is panel moulded with an everted rim above two collars. The stem is a teared six-sided moulded pedestal stem with round shoulders and basal collaring standing on a moulded and domed folded foot. Bearing in mind the skill that goes into making this type of sweetmeat glass it is amazing that, compared to similarly constructed drinking glasses, they are relatively only a fraction of the cost... one of the unexplainable aberrations of the antique glass trade. DIMENSIONS: The glass is 6" tall,the bowl 4" and the foot 3 1/4". CONDITION: There are no condition issues.

A substantial and well-made Georgian wine glass with a bell bowl set on a double series opaque twist comprised of a multi-ply corkscrew inside a pair of corkscrew twists set on a plain conical foot. A charming feature of the twist is that there is an air "chaser" running alongside the inside edge of one of the corkscrew twists which catches the light every so often. The glass stands 6 3/4 inches tall with a bowl diameter of 2 7/8 inches and 3-inch foot. There is one minor frit and a couple of small soot inclusions in the foot. There is light age related wear to the foot and overall the glass is in good condition.
