I have had this pair of cordial glasses for years and I know very little about them. If anyone has any information about these, I would appreciate hearing about it. Thanx in advance.
They stand 3 1/2" tall and appear to have been made in five (5) pieces; the 1 3/4" body which is detailed with 11 fluted swirls to the right, the decorative 1/2" ball, the 5/16"stem and the decorative gather with 11 flutes which was used to attach the stem to the 1 3/4" diameter applied foot. Additionally there is an unpolished pontil scar.
One would think that they would have ground down or re-fired the pontil after taking all of the time to assemble these pieces. These cordials are incredibly crude, so crude that there is a hole which I would attribute to the manufacturing process. Perhaps the earliest dribble glass on record?
I will post some additional pics of the pieces, perhaps that might shed some light. Thanx again.
