Description
A rare Beilby enamelled wine glass c.1765, decorated in white with four floral garlands, probably by Mary Beilby, raised on a plain stem above a folded foot, 14cm.
Cf. J. Rush, A Beilby Odyssey, p.60, pl.18 for a glass with the same design raised on an opaque twist stem. It is extremely unusual to find a Beilby glass raised on a plain stem.
