Revolutionary War era long-stem wine glass as in museum, circa 1740 – 1770

$125.00

Product Description

Being offered is a Revolutionary War era hollow-stem wine glass measuring  7” high, 3” diameter on the top rim, and 3 ¼” on the base, circa 1740 - 1770.  It took a skilled bit of glassmaking to allow part of the stem hollow and showing the form of an interior elongated bubble.  It is delicate, but there are no chips or cracks.

There is a small museum or inventory number in black ink on the bottom that can be removed if desired. There is the bottom section of one of these glasses that was recovered at Fort Ticonderoga, NY – validating their military use (see pictures). This would fit a Colonial display, civilian or military, showing well with an officer’s mess chest, travelling liquor/wine chest or next to a period bottle.
