🔍 PROVENANCE / MAKER NOTES

Rummers were a popular drinking glass form in 19th-century Britain, used for wine, punch, and other beverages. This example is entirely hand-blown, then cut by hand to achieve the bold thumbprint motif, reflecting the high-quality glassmaking tradition of the period. Cut rather than moulded decoration suggests an earlier or more refined manufacture within the century.
