A Jacobite engraved airtwist wine glass, circa 1750

The waisted bell bowl solid at the base, with a formal seven-petalled rose and one closed bud on a thorny stem, a small moth to the reverse, on a shoulder-knopped multi-spiral stem and conical foot, 18.8cm high

Footnotes

It is relatively unusual to find a rose with seven petals. According to Geoffrey B Seddon, The Jacobites and Their Drinking Glasses (1995), the engraving may be attributed to Engraver A in the author's nomenclature.
