| An emerald green Georgian export wine glass dating to c1760-70. A cup bowl mounted on an integral drawn and partially hollow stem; mounted on a high conical foot with rough pontil. Soda lead mix or good quality soda glass. Good condition. Height: 5 7/8” Rim Diameter: 2 1/8” Foot Diameter: 2 5/8” Export wine glasses were produced in England for export to the Continent; and in the main Holland. It is usual to consider only heavy glasses made from full lead metal in this form and in coloured glass to be of the English export type; however, scrutiny of learned works such as ‘Glass Through The Ages’ by Barrington Haynes reveal that this form of glass was also produced in soda metal or a mixed metal for export; see Group VI commencing on page 245 and Group VIII commencing on page 262 for further information. A good glass and considerably cheaper than a heavy lead metal example. | ||
