Three Jacobite engraved wine glasses, circa 1750-60

With round funnel bowls, two with a six-petalled rose on a thorny leafy stem with one closed bud, one on a multi-spiral airtwist stem with a central swelling knop, 15.9cm high, the other on an opaque twist stem enclosing a multi-ply corkscrew, 15.1cm high, and an unusual double-sided glass with a five-petalled rose on a stem flanked by two closed buds and two leaves to both sides, on a plain stem, 15.2cm high (3)

Footnotes

According to Geoffrey Seddon, The Jacobites and Their Drinking Glasses (1995), the engraving on the airtwist and opaque twist glasses may be attributed to Engravers B and I in the author's nomenclature respectively. Glasses with five-petalled roses are highly unusual, with only four examples recorded by Seddon.
