Rare Georgian Engraved Lead Glass Dutch Tumbler (C.1720`s)

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.
