Technical Description
A Georgian Drawn Trumpet wine glass with a double series air twist stem above a conical foot with a snapped pontil.
A multi spiral air twist would normally be classified as a single series, however, the central air column is classified as a different element therefore it's a double series.
The air column runs from top to bottom and is so wide that it's almost a hollow stem inside an MSAT. Not something you see very often and this is only the 2nd example we have had in the last two years.
A really nice glass.
