Deceptive Glass

What a fantastic piece of Georgian glass, Rick! I have only recently added a few such pieces (not of this quality, mind you, more 'cordial-sized) to my maritime collection. The officers aboard ship would often have a few of these delicate pieces stashed away for toasts on a long voyage. The spindled base is particularly attractive!

Interestingly, some of these came with Jacobite sentiments on them as well!
