Comments
Ale glasses were obviously very popular during the 18th century and there are many fine examples still in existence, however, of the many many 100's we have sold over the years this is the very first example we have seen or had with the notch cut decoration. Very different and a great collectors glass. One of a pair we currently have in stock.
