Literature: For an ‘Empty Bud’ glass from the Peter Lole Collection see The Scottish Sale Bonham’s Edinburgh 15th May 2019 lot 254 (sold £1785 inc. premium) – this example illustrated in Arthur Churchill Ltd., Glass Notes No.11 (1951) page 19 figure 23.
Note: The so called ‘Empty Bud’ glasses appear to number as few as ten, although this example is not believed to be recorded within that number. Originally discussed in Glass Notes by E Barrington Hayne in 1951 seven examples were recorded. This number was increased to ten by 1994 when discussed by G. B. Seddon in his seminal work ‘The Jacobite’s and Their Drinking Glasses’.
