An early baluster glass, c.1690, the round funnel bowl with a solid base, rising from a stem with angular knop above a hollow plain section and basal ball knop, over a domed folded foot, 16cm.

Provenance: the Roger and Patricia Daniels Collection. Purchased from Howard Phillips, 1991.

Cf. Peter Francis, The Development of Lead Glass, fig.10, for the glass that was purchased alongside this and identified as Irish, c.1680-88. The collar mereses relate to a group of sherds of late 17th century proto baluster glasses excavated in Dublin.
