Description
A rare engraved crested 'Liberty' wine glass, circa 1745
The waisted bucket bowl with a bridled horse passant upon a dual coronet, the reverse inscribed 'GEORGE AND LIBERTY' below the rim, on a plain stem and folded conical foot, 15cm high
Footnotes:
The motto on this glass is associated with anti-Jacobite sentiment expressing loyalty to the Hanoverian monarch. An ale goblet engraved with a virtually identical crest of a horse over a coronet identified as the White Horse of Hannover is illustrated by Sydney Crompton, English Glass (1967), p.128, pl.69. A set of six opaque twist goblets also bearing the same crest was sold by Sotheby's on 5 October 1993, lot 55.
