This is a late Georgian, engraved glass tumbler dating from the early part of the 19th century, c1830.

The bowl is engraved with the letters “IMG” (?) within a laurel leaf cartouche with foliage descending and with a single hop flower flanked by barley ears to verso.

There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any obvious evidence of restoration.
