Comment
The firing foot is an uncommon feature on a standard-sized wine glass. It's more often found on 18th-century dram glasses. Also, the polished pontil would indicate that the glass is towards the end of the 18th century, the Facet Cut form being the only 18th-century form where you will occasionally find a polished pontil rather than a snapped rough pontil.
