An 18th century plain stem wine glass with a large round funnel bowl which has hammer moulding to the lower half. Sits on a thick plain stem above a conical foot with snapped pontil.

18th Century Plain stem wine glasses have a strength of character unique to their form and are certainly not 'plain'. This particular example is one of the best we have had for some time. A very nice glass.
