Stuart Crystal ‘Glengarry’ Design Hock Wine Glass No. 29236

This is a high-quality lead crystal hock wine glass from the ‘Glengarry’ suite, produced by Stuart Crystal in the second half of the 20th century.

The rounded bowl is approximately ogee-shaped, tapering in to merge with the elongated, baluster-shaped stem.

The bowl is cut around the centre with a band of eight large crosses. Above the centre of each cross is a vertical mitre cut. Within the diamond-shaped panels formed between adjacent large crosses is a lattice formed from two pairs of parallel lines.

The stem merges with the plain, flat foot. The latter is marked in the centre with the words ‘STUART ENGLAND’. This particular mark was in use from around 1950.

The ‘Glengarry’ suite has the pattern number 29236 and was introduced by Stuart Crystal in 1947.

It has a height of approximately 17.3cm, with a diameter across the rim of about 7.4cm and across the foot of about 7.9cm.

It has a liquid capacity (to the brim) of 190ml.

It has an unwrapped weight of 260g.

It is in excellent condition, with no chips or cracks.
