Royal Brierley ‘Bruce’ Design Large Lead Crystal Wine Glass (4 ¾”)

This is a high-quality lead crystal large wine glass from the ‘Bruce’ suite produced by Royal Brierley.

The bucket-shaped bowl is cut in its lower half with a lattice formed from two rows of interlocking crosses. This lattice is surmounted by a circumferential mitre cut topped with five equidistantly positioned five-limbed fan cuts.

The base of the bowl is thickened and sits on a short, baluster-shaped stem. The foot is plain and marked at the edge with the word ‘BRIERLEY’.

This glass is seen in the 1986 Royal Brierley catalogue listed as a ‘large wine’ standing at 4 ¾” tall. 

It has a height of approximately 12.5cm, with a diameter across the rim of about 7.4cm and across the foot of about 6.0cm.

It has a liquid capacity (to the brim) of 170ml.

It has an unwrapped weight of 240g.

It is in good condition, with no chips or cracks, although there is a ring of wear around the underside edge of the foot commensurate with use.
