Description

This is a small Georgian, hand-blown, boot glass, dram glass or stirrup cup, dating from the late 18th century, c1770. Such glasses were used to mock the Earl of Bute, Prime Minister of Great Britain from 1762-1763 and the first Prime Minster of Scotland following the Act of Union.

The glass is in excellent condition for its age. This means, of course, that it shows the age related wear and tear to the rim of the bowl and the foot commensurate with over 200 years of use.

The glass measures 4 cm (1.6 inches) in diameter at the rim and stands 8.5 cm (3.4 inches) in height. The glass is decorated with three lines of rigaree decoration from top to bottom and a shorter line to the front of the glass. It is difficult to say with rigaree but as one long line ends in a definite blob and the other two do not then it is probable that those blobs have been chipped off the other two. It carries a rough pontil mark to the heel of the boot. There are no other chips, cracks, scratches or any obvious evidence of restoration. There is a tiny black inclusion in the metal of the bowl, just under the rim.
It weighs in at 60 g. (~ 2 oz.).
