DESCRIPTION:
An unusual ale glass of with an elongated round funnel bowl above a double series opaque twist stem with shoulder knop. The twist is fashioned with a pair of spiral tapes inside a pair of close multi-ply spiral bands. The glass stands on a plain conical foot. The glass is constructed of lovely clear lead crystal glass.
DIMENSIONS:
Height 7¼ inches;
Bowl diameter 2⅞ inches;
Foot diameter 3 inches.
CONDITION:
In good condition with a ⅜ inch section of the foot rim which feels slightly rough or sharp. This has resulted from when the glass was manufactured and is caused by there being a grooved tooling mark that travels diagonally across the outside edge of the foot rim. The existence of this tooling mark is a reassuring sign that there has been no restoration to the glass that is in excellent condition throughout.

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.
