DESCRIPTION: A rare and unusual balustroid cordial glass with a fluted round funnel bowl sitting on a stem with a plain shoulder knop and basal knop all standing on a conical folded foot with broken pontil mark. Considering the diminutive size of the glass it is surprising to find the foot to be the normal size for a balustroid wineglass.
DIMENSIONS: The glass stands inches 4.9 tall with a bowl diameter of 1.5 inches and a foot diameter 2.75 of inches.
CONDITION: Excellent condition showing tool marks and striation marks with the expected wear to the foot. The lead metal is a lovely greyish colour.

DESCRIPTION:
Generally speaking balustroid glasses tend to be rather crudely made but this rare glass proves the exception to the rule in that it is well designed and executed and has some lovely detail. The round funnel bowl sits on stem made up of a double annulated shoulder knop surrounding a small cushion knop and an impressive true baluster knop at the base all standing on a conical folded foot with broken pontil mark. A very similar glass to this is described and illustrated in Turnbull and Herron’s “Price Guide to English 18th Century Drinking Glasses” page 64.
DIMENSIONS:
Height – 53⁄4 inches;
Bowl diameter – 21⁄8 inches;
Foot diameter – 21⁄2 inches.
CONDITION:
In good, original condition with the expected tooling marks and wear appropriate to its age.

DESCRIPTION: Ratafia glasses are a relative rarity: making up only 1% of opaque twists. The drawn trumpet bowl of this example is the more unusual form in ratafia glasses, the commoner form being a pointed round funnel bowl. Here we have a particularly fine example of ratafia glass with the bowl being wheel engraved with a floral motif and having wrythen flute moulding to lower two thirds. Supporting the bowl is a double series opaque twist stem comprised of an inner pair of spiral tapes surrounded by a 15 ply spiral tape sitting on a large conical foot with broken pontil mark.
DIMENSIONS: The glass stands 6.9 inches tall with a bowl diameter of 1.5 inches and a foot diameter of 3 inches.
CONDITION: This glass is in superb condition with no chips, cracks, bloom or scratches and shows no evidence of restoration. The bowl rim has a shear mark and there are normal signs of wear to the bearing surface of the foot.

DESCRIPTION: An elegant and unusual cordial glass. The plain ogee bowl, holding one fluid ounce, is supported on a delicate double series opaque twist which is made up of four spiral tapes outside a central spiral gauze standing on a plain conical foot with broken pontil mark. DIMENSIONS: The glass measures 5.9 inches tall with the bowl diameter of 1.8 inches and a foot diameter of 2.75 inches CONDITION: Overall the glass is in good condition with no bloom, scratches or evidence of restoration. The foot, however, has a small, shallow 1/16 inch chip and another shallow bruise/chip to the underside measuring 5/8 by 3/8 inches. Nonetheless, still a beautiful glass which displays well and can be used without undue anxiety.
