An unusual Beilby wine glass, c.1770, the drawn trumpet enamelled in white with a spray of fruiting grapevine, the reverse with a small plum sprig, raised on a multi-series opaque twist stem above a conical foot, the rim with traces of gilding, 18cm.

Provenance: a private London collection.

It is more usual for glass of this type to be decorated with a continuous band of fruiting vine; the fruit sprig is an unusual addition.
