Beautiful late 17th century hock glass. The chalice with minor air bubbles, so-called seed and a kind of 'touch', slightly bulged (rare) with a cog-wheel engraving of grape vines along the rim. Running 'open' into the stem (a so-called ‘runner'). A ribbed glass thread under the chalice. The stem is decorated with the characteristic 'bramble' nodes. Please note: the story goes that these bramble nodes provided grip while eating, back then they still only used a knife and the hands were rather greasy. These nodes were applied with a pipe clay stamp by pressing on a glass drop. The base van twisted glass wires (applied to a wooden bobbin) and with the characteristic cut off pontil, (last contact with the glass pipe), pushed in/upwards and slightly stained. > the glass is as light as a feather (soda composition); feeling that is already a sensation in itself. The glass is 100% intact. Height 13.4 cm. Professional shipping ensured, the rummer will be packed in bubble plastic in a sturdy cardboard box; registered and insured (with track and trace).
