A rare set of six Jacobite engraved airtwist wine glasses, circa 1750

Footnotes

Sets of Jacobite engraved wine glasses such as this are rare and represent remarkable survivals. Compare for example to the set of eleven similar Jacobite engraved wine glasses sold by Bonhams on 12 November 2014, lot 68. According to Geoffrey B Seddon, The Jacobites and Their Drinking Glasses (1995), the engraved decoration on this set may be attributed to Engraver B.

Saleroom notices

Please note that two of the glasses show slightly different characteristics in the engraving.
