This is a Georgian, English, balustroid stem gin glass dating from the early to middle part of the 18th century, c1740.   

The glass is in excellent condition for its age.  It shows age related wear and tear to the rim of the foot commensurate with some 250 years of use. It has a rough pontil mark on the underside of the foot.

 

The glass has a small bell-shaped bowl measuring 5.4 cm (2.1 inches) in diameter at the rim.  The bowl is plain and sits on a balustroid stem with shoulder and basal knops, and a conical, folded foot which measures 6.5 cm (2.6 inches) in diameter.  The glass is 13.8 cm (5.5 inches) in height.  There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any obvious evidence of restoration.   The glass has a slight lean to it.  There are a number of dealer's or collector's stickers to the underside of the foot.

 English lead glass weighing in at 110 g. (~ 4 oz.).
