Comments

The funnel-shaped bowl on this blown wine glass has six engraved swags and cross-hatching around the outside.  Each swag has a ball or circle punctuating the motif.  Below the bowl, the stem The stem of this wine glass is decorated with opaque white spirals, made by introducing opaque white glass rods during its fabrication.  The wine glass stands on a round foot, slightly raised in the center.  A pontil mark remains in the center of the outside bottom.
