ENGLISH FREE-BLOWN "CONCEALED JACOBITE" FACET-STEM WINE GLASS, colorless lead glass, ogee bowl with seven heavy oval-topped panel cuts around the lower third of the bowl with additional pointed leafy cuts between each petal, atop a straight diamond-faceted stem, slightly conical foot with rough pontil mark. Circa 1785. 5 5/8" H, 2 7/8" D foot.
Literature: Parallels Bickerton - Eighteenth Century English Drinking Glasses, p. 242, fig. 744.
Catalogue Note: According to the donor's notes, the concealed/hidden Jacobite image in this glass would be "revealed" to the drinker only after emptying the glass and viewing it down the bowl straight on. At this angle, visual distortion of the cuts around the bowl creates a seven-petaled Jacobite rose.
This glass is from a group assembled during the 1930s and 40s by Mrs. Warfield E. Haw, who primarily purchased from English and occasionally American dealers including mainly Arthur Churchill and Cecil Davis of London, among others. Mrs. George E. Haw (Warfield) (1887-1968) was an extremely active collector and member of the preservation community in Richmond. In addition to being a member of the Antiquarian Society and Director of the Association for Preservation of Virginia Antiquities, she was Chairman of the Furnishings Committee at Wilton House Museum from 1948 to 1965. She ushered Wilton House Museum through a period of rapid collection growth, loaning many pieces of her own as well as soliciting donations, gifts, and loans from other members, family, friends, and even strangers. Per her memorial, "[Mrs. Haw's] enthusiasm for her task was so contagious that she was able to interest members and friends, not only in giving treasures to Wilton, but also in bequeathing to it silver, furniture, rugs, and porcelain. She made people feel it was a privilege to do so." Upon Haw's death in 1968, she bequeathed her valuable collection of rare drinking glasses as well as a hanging japanned cabinet in which they were displayed in the Dining Room of Wilton for 50 years before being deaccessioned.
