A well formed Georgian wine glass with round funnel bowl set on a double series opaque twist stem comprised of a pair of spiral tapes inside a 20-ply spiral band set on a plain conical foot. The glass stands just over 6 inches tall with a bowl diameter of 2 3/8 inches and a foot diameter of 2 3/4 inches. There are several small air inclusions in the foot and there are the expected signs of normal wear to the foot and bowl rims. In conclusion this is a nice example of a straightforward Georgian wine glass.

Bickerton illustrates a similar wine glass in his book, Eighteenth Century English Drinking Glasses, on page 206 fig. 603 and classifies the stem as a single series opaque twist. However, it can be argued this classification is erroneous and that the glass should be considered as being a mixed twist. The glass offered here is in some ways superior to the one illustrated by Bickerton in that this glass has a rib moulded round funnel bowl as oppposed to the rather austere plain ogee bowl in Bickerton's example. The stem is made up of an elongated tear which interestingly and confusingly reflects the surrounding four spiral tapes to make the stem look more complex than it actually is. The foot is of the plain conical form. The glass measures 14 cm tall, 4.9 cm across the bowl and the foot 6.9 cm. The glass is in fine condition with normal age related wear to the bowl and foot rims. It should be mentioned that there is a small "seed" in the bowl which can be seen in picture two.

DESCRIPTION: second of a true pair of early Georgian multi-series air twist stem wineglasses. These glasses deviate from the usual form in that they have ogee bowls as opposed to the more usual pan-topped form. Both glasses contain an incidental central air thread which indicates that they are a true pair. The ogee bowl is supported on the multi-series air twist stem with medial swell knop resting on a plain conical foot with snapped pontil mark. DIMENSIONS: this glass stands 6 inches tall with a bowl diameter of 1.9 inches and the foot diameter of 2.6 inches. CONDITION: the glass is in immaculate condition with light wear to the foot.
