Product details
This fabulous, rare, heavy, early Georgian, lead glass tumbler from the early 1700's is in excellent condition and beautifully engraved with lovely detail. It has five oval panels, featuring a lady in period dress, doing, or holding something different in each panel, with what appears to be Dutch wording above each. In one, she's holding a musical instrument (lute), with a dear standing behind her, in another she's holding a bunch of grapes in one hand and a bowl of fruit in the other, in another holding a fishing rod and looking in a mirror and another she's holding flowers etc. The tumbler is hand-blown in a tapering form, from thick lead glass with a soft greyish colour and has a polished out pontil mark on the base. To think this tumbler is in the region of 300 years old in this condition makes it a very rare and wonderful piece. It stands 11cm high, with a top diameter of 8,6cm, a glass thickness of 6mm and weighs 470g.
