An enamelled Masonic opaque-twist firing glass, circa 1765
Footnotes
Literature:
Lloyd (2000), p.78, pl.99(a) and p.77
See the plain stem example with almost identical decoration sold in these Rooms, The Chris Crabtree Collection, 19 May 2010, lot 28. Further examples exist in the literature, their limited palette of colours and naiive execution suggesting a hand different from that of the Beilbys. They are closely linked to a group of Jacobite wine glasses painted in colours with the portrait of Prince Charles Edward Stuart. For a fuller discussion of this rare group of glasses and the work of Anthony Taylor in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, see Simon Cottle, 'The Other Beilbys: British Enamelled Glass of the Eighteenth Century', Apollo (October 1986), pp.315-327.
