This is a small, late Georgian, glass tumbler (of the size that would nowadays be thought of as a shot glass) with an applied blue glass rim dating from the beginning of the 19th century, c1820.
The glass is in excellent condition for its age. It shows age related wear and tear to the rim of the base commensurate with some 200 years of use. It has a polished out pontil mark on the underside of the base.

The bowl is plain and ends in a base that measures 3.9 cm (1.5 inches) in diameter. The glass is 6 cm (2.4 inches) in height.
