Glass (for drinking) (Wineglass)
1790-1820
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. A similar glass, but with differently engraved (floral swags) appears in the catalogue as number 95. It's caption translates as "...Goblet, [drawing of a square] base with engraved festoons."
