Seddon refers to the provenance and exhibition history as follows: `The Lords Blantyre, of Lennoxlove, Haddington and their successors the Bairds of Newbyth, owned by Robert Baird and sold at Christies 18-12 1947, lot 113 when it was acquired by Messrs. Arthur Churchill, the present owner is K.A. Alexander [1975] and the glass is on loan to the Victoria and Albert museum.Exhibited by the Baird family at the Sotheby Exhibition of National History, Art and Industry, held in Glasgow 1911 by Messrs Arthur Churchill at the Antique Dealer`s Fair in 1948, and the Victoria and Albert Museum Exhibition of English Glass in 1968.`See also www.scotlandsglass.co.uk where Ian Mckenzie, a professional glass engraver working in Australia concluded in 2010 that the most likely engraver of the Amen glasses was a Scottish artist and line engraver, Sir Robert Strange (1721-1792). Strange was an expert in diamond point engraving, served in Prince Charles`s army in the `45 Rebellion and was married to a Jacobite Isabella Lumisden, daughter of William Lumisden, a son of a Bishop of Edinburgh.Whilst there are apparently only 37 genuine `Amen` glasses, they do appear at auction from time to time.
