| An English Georgian baluster period double ended dram glass dating to C1700. Two very thickly made bowls of lead glass; joined in the middle with a plain stem section; the inner base of the larger bowls pontilled. Height: 4 11/16” Bowl rims: 1 7/8” & 2” Perfect. English Georgian double ended glasses were produced over the period C1700-1750. Some call them measures and some call them drams. The earlier glasses appear to have bowls of similar size; the later glasses have bowls of distinctly different sizes. This may indicate that the earlier glasses served a different purpose than the later ones; or perhaps that they served the same purpose; but were used for different beverages, therefore dictating the bowl size? Whatever the original use; this is a distinctly early baluster glass, of thick gauge, with superb tooling marks and great fire to the metal. | ||
