This exquisite Sweetmeat glass, dating back to the 18th century, showcases the intricate craftsmanship and refined taste of the Georgian era. The glass, with its plain bowl and everted rim, rests gracefully on an eight-sided pedestal stem. The stem, in turn, supports a teared cushion knop and a domed foot, all elements that add to its unique charm. 3. Image Description: The clear, vertical, single glass, bathed in the soft glow of natural light, stands proudly against a plain, white background. Its slender stem, adorned with intricate engravings, curves gently towards the bowl, which is wide enough to hold small delicacies or sweets. The everted rim, with its delicate flare, adds a touch of elegance and sophistication. The teared cushion knop, a characteristic feature of this type of glass, provides a comfortable grip, while the domed foot adds stability. 4.

Context: Sweetmeat glasses were popular during the 18th century, particularly among the aristocracy. They were used to serve small sweets, fruits, or even liqueurs. The intricate designs and delicate craftsmanship of these glasses were a reflection of the opulence and refinement of the Georgian era. 6.
