Footnote
Although this style of glass is encountered with some regularity (see lot #####) they are predominantly found in combination with air twist stems. Finding an example with an enamel twist, and of such high quality, appears rare.
Looking at the style of engraving to the moth and rose head, it seems likely this glass was engraved either Engraver B/C or F as described in 'The Jacobites and their Drinking Glasses' G Seddon.
