Historical Relevance
When Scott Falk found this glass on one of his glass buying trips to England in the 1970s, I have no doubt that he was delighted with his good fortune. It is for many collectors, a classic form and a must-have within their collection...and rightly so. The fact that it had a few pinpricks on the foot, wouldn't have concerned Scott in the slightest.
