Provenance:
From a London private collection
A flute of identical form only much larger was in the John Carson Collection, sold by Phillips, 6 June 2001, lot 24 and was subsequently in the Chris Crabtree Collection, sold by Bonhams, 12 November 2014, lot 132. John Carson, who collected 'ceremonial' glasses of large size, believed his glass to have been made during the Hawley Bishopp period at the Savoy Glassworks. A similar spirally-ribbed domed foot occurs on a covered bowl, dated to the beginning of the 18th century, illustrated by W. A. Thorpe, A History of English and Irish Glass (1929), pl.74.
