An engraved 'Friendly Hunt' firing glass of Jacobite interest, circa 1750

The drawn trumpet bowl inscribed 'THE FRIENDLY HUNT' flanking a floral sprig, on a short plain stem and heavy conical foot, 9cm high

Footnotes

The Friendly Hunt was a Worcestershire meet probably connected with a Jacobite society in Worcester known as The Friendly Association. Founded in 1747, the Association met annually in rotation in the neighbouring towns of Droitwich, Bromsgrove, Kidderminster and Stourbridge. A similar firing glass from The Ron and Mary Thomas Collection was sold by Bonhams on 4 June 2008 and is illustrated by Geoffrey Seddon, The Jacobites and Their Drinking Glasses (1995), p.120, pl.86 and by Arthur Churchill, History in Glass (1937), pl.20, no.92. Together with the present lot only a handful of other examples exist including one in the Victoria and Albert Museum (accession no. C.257-1925) and one in the Harding Collection, Christ Church College, Oxford. For further details see Peter Lole, A Digest of the Jacobite Clubs, Royal Stuart Society Paper LV (1999).
