DESCRIPTION:
A rather refined Georgian lead crystal wine glass with large round funnel bowl flute moulded to the lower half above a multi-spiral air twist stem with an inverted baluster shoulder knop all standing on plain conical foot. This really is a most delightful and charming glass. The photographs unfortunately fail to fully represent the beautiful unctuous metal or the way the trapped air in the stem sparkles in the light.
DIMENSIONS:
Height – 6¾ inches;
Bowl diameter – 2⅞ inches;
Foot diameter – 2¾ inches.
CONDITION:
Good original condition with a small (1.5 mm) and unobtrusive white inclusion one third of the way up the bowl. There are the expected patterns of wear to the foot and bowl rim.

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.
