On offer is a rare Georgian blown glass deception toasting glass dating to around 1820. Expertly hand blown, it features the classic deceptive conical bowl, an elegant bladed knop stem and a snapped pontil mark to the base, all characteristic of early nineteenth century English glassmaking. Designed to give the illusion of holding a larger quantity than it actually could, these ingenious glasses were used during formal toasts and social occasions.

Deception glasses are highly sought after for their unusual form and historical interest, reflecting the craftsmanship and wit of Georgian glassmakers. The snapped pontil and elegant proportions firmly place this example within the early nineteenth century tradition. Presented in excellent antique condition, it is a fine addition to any collection of Georgian or English drinking glasses.
