Description

Description
An exceptional 18th-century dram glass dating to c1760. It has a drawn trumpet, a highly deceptive, rib-moulded bowl. The ribbing continues down the stem to a thick, sturdy conical foot, with a snapped pontil.
Historical Context
As a toastmaster’s glass, the bowl is designed to hold less than a normal dram glass, so that the toastmaster does not get 'stocious' (as we say in Scotland) during the evening’s entertainment. It holds approx. 18ml, whereas a standard single dram would be 25-35ml depending on location.
In the 18th century the Plain Stem category (which this glass would fall into), the ratio of dram glasses to wine glasses is around 1:600. So, one dram to every 600 wines. A drawn trumpet Toastmaster within that smaller dram category is off the scale, with very few of them ever coming into the market.
Date & Origin
England, c1760-80. Period of King George III.
Condition
Excellent. Age-related wear as shown. No chips, cracks, or restoration. Small air bubble in the foot as shown.
