Wine glass (2) - Different models - Lood Glas - Wine glasses 1740 & 1745

Two English lead crystal wine glasses with a rolled foot and a beautifully placed inverted tear in the stem. The glasses are slightly different from each other. Based on the same glasses depicted in Eighteenth Century Drinking Glasses, An Illustrated Guide, one is from around 1740 and the other from around 1745, making them approximately 280 to 285 years old. Both are in an excellent condition. Below is a description of each glass separately. I also kindly refer you to the photos, which are also part of the descriptions.
