Footnote
Notes: Although most commonly encountered on British glass, Jacobite symbolism was engraved on Continental glassware as well. While difficult to prove, circumstantially the survival seems to be slightly later in period than much of the British made examples. This perhaps suggests that these pieces were being commissioned by exiled Jacobites after the '45 who were still staunch and overt in their beliefs.
