Georgian hop and barley engraved multi spiral air twist ale glass

This is a Georgian, English, hop and barley engraved multi spiral air twist ale glass dating from the middle of the 18th century, c1750. The glass is in excellent condition for its age. It shows age related wear and tear to the rim of the foot commensurate with some 250 years of use. It has a rough pontil mark on the underside of the foot. The glass has an extended rounded funnel-shaped bowl measuring 5.7 cm (2.2 inches) in diameter at the rim. The bowl is engraved with a single hop flower and with crossed barley ears to verso and sits on two collars and a multi spiral air twist stem with shoulder and medial knops. The stem ends in a conical foot which measures 7.3 cm (2.9 inches) in diameter. The glass is 19.8 cm (7.9 inches) in height. There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any obvious evidence of restoration. There are some minute white inclusions in the metal of the bowl and a tiny extraneous drop of glass just under the bowl rim, all dating from manufacture. English lead glass weighing in at 180 g.
