Description

Glass goblet. The sides of the wine glass are etched with the words 'The Glorious Memory of King William', a figure on horseback, and 'Boyne 1st July 1690'. It was made in two parts, with a domed, inverted base and a folded foot and the pontil mark is broken rather than buffed. It was probably made in Ireland. A similar glass is in the Fitzwilliam, Cambridge No C519 (257).
