Footnote
Although Jacobite wine glasses with drawn trumpet bowls and air twist stems are well recorded, no comparable to this unusually short stem can be found in the standard reference works.
For a similar glass but of standard proportions see 'The Jacobites and their Drinking Glasses' G Seddon, plate 25 within the Drambuie Collection. Also, for a diminutive glass but with double knopped stem see Lyon & Turnbull ‘Scottish Works of Art & Whisky’ 16th August 2023 lot 350 (sold for £3500).
