Glass (for drinking) (Wineglass)
1780-1820
Description
This wineglass has much in common with examples illustrated in Winterthur's so-called Gardiner's Island Glass Catalogue (71x206.1, Downs collection, Winterthur Library). The 1790-1825 Bohemian glass trade catalog is signed by Johannes Schiefner of Parchen in Bohemia. It once belonged to the Gardiner family of Gardiner's Island, New York, and documents some forms of imported glass which were available in Federal America. Glasses sharing somewhat similar features in terms of engraved and cut decoration as well as stem and base form appear in the catalogue as numbers 89-91 and 97-104.
