This is a Georgian mixed twist wine glass dating from the middle of the 18th century, c1760.
The glass is in excellent condition for its age. It shows age related wear and tear to both the rim of the bowl and to the rim of the foot consistent with some 250 years of use. It has a rough pontil mark on the base of the foot.
The glass has a bell-shaped bowl measuring 6.8 cm (2.7 inches) in diameter at the rim. The bowl is plain and sits on a mixed twist stem consisting of four white enamel cords wound around a central air gauze. The stem leads to a conical foot which measures 7.2 cm (2.9 inches) in diameter. The glass is 16.3 cm (6.5 inches) in height. There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any obvious signs of restoration. There are a couple of tiny unburst bubbles in the metal of the foot.
English lead glass weighing in at 150 g. ( ~ 5 1/4 oz.).
