Provenance
With Delomosne and Son, 13 March 1990
Leuba Collection

Airtwist glasses of this distinctive form in either emerald-green or blue-green glass occur with remarkable frequency in Norfolk, see Dr David R M Stuart, Glass in Norfolk (1997), p.10 and fig.11. Five such glasses of emerald-green tint were sold at Gunton Hall in 1980 where they were thought to have been since purchased in the 18th century. Four were discovered at a house in Higham and in 1987 four blue-green tinted examples were sold at an auction in Beccles. A similar emerald-green tinted glass from the Thomas Collection was sold by Bonhams on 4 June 2008, lot 134 and another from the Durrington Collection on 15 November 2023, lot 31.
