A fine pair of Beilby enamelled opaque twist wine glasses, circa 1765

The bell bowls with solid beaded bases, enamelled in the Beilby workshop with fruiting vines, the reverse of both glasses painted with a distinctive winged insect, the rims gilded, on double series opaque twist stems both with a multi-ply or gauze corkscrew encircled by a pair of spiral threads, 17.7cm and 17.9cm high (2)

Footnotes

The bowls with bright 'beaded' bases are very unusual combined with Beilby decoration. The gold rims are also unusually well preserved.
