It is possible that the Beilbys imported undecorated light baluster glasses from Holland, as most surviving examples of this shape with Beilby decoration have identical stems. The Beilbys will have been aware that the best glass engravers working in Holland, such as Jacob Sang, favoured the light baluster shape for their most prestigious commissions.Fifteen Beilby decorated wine glasses or goblets of similar shape are recorded, including the present lot. Three others are recorded with vine decoration, including one in the Fitzwilliam Museum (inv. no.C.513-1961), one in the Victoria and Albert Museum (inv. no.c.625/1936) and one in the Kunstmuseum Den Haag (inv. no.1005203), the former two illustrated by James Rush, The Ingenious Beilbys (1973), pp.52 and 57, nos.28 and 33b. The remaining eleven all bear armorials or crests, of which eight have Dutch connections. An important polychrome armorial light baluster wine glass of identical size and form to the present lot was sold by Bonhams on 1 December 2021, lot 142 where a summary of the known armorial examples is detailed in the footnote.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

The Thompson Wine Glass: a highly important Beilby enamelled crested wine glass, circa 1769The ogee bowl with a slightly deceptive base, painted with the crest of the Thompson family in purple, white and yellow, an arm in armour embowed quarterly or and azure, holding in the gauntlet proper a broken lance of the first, on a ribbon wreath supported by a scrollwork bracket and flanked by foliage in opaque white, the reverse with a branch of fruiting vine, faint traces of gilding to the rim edge, on a double-series opaque twist stem containing a multi-ply corkscrew within two pairs eight-ply spiral bands, over a conical foot, 15cm highFootnotes:ProvenancePeter Lazarus CollectionSotheby's, 21 November 2006, lot 68Chris Crabtree Collection, Bonhams, 19 May 2010, lot 46Darell Thompson-Schwab CollectionLiteratureJames Rush, A Beilby Odyssey (1987), p.131, no.94ExhibitedBristol Museum and Art GalleryL'Association Internationale pour l'Histoire du Verre Exhibition, Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, 1979, no.44The Decorated Glasses of William and Mary Beilby, Laing Art Gallery, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, 1980, no.68The crest on this exceptional glass has been previously attributed to Stephen Thompson (1699-1763) of Kirby Hall in Little Ouseburn, North Yorkshire. However, he died without issue in 1763 and this perhaps just predates this glass. Upon his death title passed to his brother John Thompson (1701-1773). John's eldest son and heir Henry Thompson (1743-1814) married Mary Spence (1750-1843) on 30 January 1769 and it is likely that this glass was commissioned from the Beilby workshop to celebrate the occasion. To the wealthy, titled Thompson family Mary brought her own considerable inheritance as the only child of Thomas Spence of Harts Hall, Suffolk. Indeed, it is now known that Beilby glasses such as this were commissioned to celebrate marriages, with the most notable perhaps being the set of armorial Marriage Glasses made for the marriage of Jane and Crosier Surtees in September 1769, sold by Bonhams on 23 June 2021, lots 9-12.Whilst other Beilby crested and armorial wine glasses are known to have been made in sets, the present glass would appear to be the only example recorded bearing the Thompson crest. A portrait of Mary as Rachel at the Well by the American artist Benjamin West hangs in the Chrysler Museum of Art (inv. no.71.720). Interestingly, Henry Thompson's great-granduncle was Jonas Thompson (1608-1648) of Killerby in Yorkshire, who had married Frances Beilby (born about 1610) of Killerby and Micklethwaite Grange, Collingham, in 1629. The Beilbys of Newcastle-upon-Tyne were directly descended from the Micklethwaite Grange branch of the Beilby family, Francis being the great-grandaunt of the renowned enameller William Beilby. A related armorial goblet bearing the arms of Beilby Thompson (1742-1799) of Micklethwaite Grange was sold by Bonhams on 16 December 2009, lot 58.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

A fine Dutch engraved armorial light baluster wine glass attributed to Jacob Sang, circa 1760The round funnel bowl finely decorated with the crowned arms of the Admiraliteit van het Noorderkwartier (Admiralty of West Friesland), the shaped shield containing crossed anchors and the letters 'A N', flanked by martial trophies including flags, drums and neat piles of cannonballs, the stem with an angular knop above a beaded inverted baluster and basal knop, over a conical foot, 18.4cm highFootnotes:ProvenanceDwight P Lanmon CollectionThis fine glass has much in common with the small number of other recorded Admiraliteit glasses, some of which are attributed to the celebrated Dutch engraver Jacob Sang. Indeed, the style of the engraving is remarkably similar to that on a glass signed by Sang and dated 1759, formerly in the Guépin Collection sold by Christie's on 5 July 1989, lot 127, which bears the arms of Leiden. This features polished crossed keys on a matt ground beneath a crown all executed in the same manner as the armorial on the present glass.A similar glass bearing the initials 'A A' for the Admiralty at Amsterdam, also attributed to Sang, is illustrated by Pieter C Ritsema van Eck and Henrica M Zijlstra-Zweens, Glass in the Rijksmuseum, Vol.2 (2002), p.209, no.220. Another for this Admiralty bearing the arms of the Seven United Provinces is illustrated by Hubert Vreeken, Glas in Het Amsterdams Historisch Museum (1998), p.200, no.196. A glass in the Museum Rotterdam bearing the initials 'P P P' for the Admiralty at Rotterdam is illustrated by N I Schadee, Met Rad en Diamant (1989), pp.55-6, no.58 and another, again attributed to Sang, was sold by Bonhams on 17 December 2008, lot 442. Compare also to the impressive goblet for this Admiralty illustrated by Christopher Sheppard and John Smith, Glass from the Restoration to the Regency (1990), p.59, no.84, which also carries a Sang attribution. The present glass would appear to be the only recorded Admiraliteit glass bearing the initials 'A N'.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Lot 129
A fine Dutch engraved light baluster 'Friendship' wine glass or goblet, circa 1760The generous round funnel bowl finely decorated with the biblical kings David and Jonathan in embrace, David wearing a crown with a harp at his feet, Jonathan wearing armour and wielding a bow, an arrow at his feet, flanked by flowers and a tree, beneath the Latin inscription 'IDEM VELLE / IDEM NOLLE.' (Same Desires, Same Dislikes), the reverse with a sunburst, the tall multi-knopped stem with a solid cushion knop and teared angular knop above a teared inverted baluster between ball knops, over a neatly folded conical foot, 21.6cm highFootnotes:ProvenanceChris Crabtree CollectionThe Book of Samuel describes David's ascent to power and the covenant he formed with Jonathan. David, depicted here with a harp, was famed for his musical ability and he was summoned to play for King Saul. Jonathan, Saul's son, established a close bond with David and gave clothing and armour, including his bow, to Jonathan to formalise the covenant. The relationship between the two men is considered to have been more than platonic. For the Romans, 'Idem Velle, Idem Nolle' was also the definition of friendship.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

An exceptional Dutch engraved light baluster goblet, circa 1760The generous round funnel bowl finely engraved with continuous landscape depicting a palatial two-storey buitenplaats (country house), the grand entrance surmounted by a fanlight, the roof with an elaborate balustrade, the reverse with a moated hexagonal theekoepeltje (pavilion or summer house) flanked by rows of trees, cattle in the foreground, the multi-knopped stem with an angular knop above a beaded inverted baluster and basal knop, over a conical foot, 23.9cm highFootnotes:ProvenanceChris Crabtree CollectionExhibitedFanfare for Europe: British Art Market Exhibition, Christie's, 1973, no.208Goblets engraved with grand country houses such as this would have been amongst the most prestigious commissions for 18th century Dutch engravers, particularly masters such as Jacob Sang. The panoramas created by the continuous gardens place then amongst the highlights of all Dutch engraved light balusters. A goblet of similar size engraved by Sang with a related view of a Eemlust House with a pavilion, now in Museum Flehite (inv. no.1990-031), is illustrated by Christopher Sheppard and John Smith, Engraved Glass: Masterpieces from Holland (1990), pp.48-9, no.22. A facet-stem goblet with a view of Ionica House, also by Sang, is illustrated by Hubert Vreeken, Glas in het Amsterdams Historisch Museum (1998), p.230, no.241. A moulded-stem goblet engraved with a view of Boschbeek House in a comparable manner to the house on the present glass, notably the matt façade and similar treatment of the rooftiles together with animals including a cow in the grounds, was exhibited at the Nationaal Glasmuseum in Leerdam between October 2012 and February 2013. The identity of the imposing property depicted on the present glass is unclear.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Lot 132
A very rare Dutch stipple-engraved goblet by J Wolff, circa 1760The ovoid bowl delicately engraved with a tavern scene with features partially outlined in diamond-point, the scene depicting four figures around a wooden table, a man standing at one end lifting a jug of beer, his dog seated on the floor beside him looking up towards its master, a lady and a gentleman seated at the other end, he with a beaker raised in his hand, a man standing behind them smoking a pipe, all before a doorway and sparsely stippled foliage, set on a tapering multi-spiral airtwist stem set into a high domed foot, 18cm highFootnotes:J Wolff stippled in a very characteristic style in which the background is sparsely dotted and darker objects are left almost totally blank, meaning that they are typically delineated by an outline. The way in which the engraving on the present goblet has been executed is therefore highly characteristic of this engraver. Wolff specialised in depictions of country folk and rural life, including tavern scenes such as this. A total of just twenty goblets with a variety of bowl and stem formations by this engraver are recorded by Frans Smit in his catalogue, Uniquely Dutch Eighteenth-Century Dutch Stipple-Engravings on Glass (1993). This includes five glasses engraved with similar tavern scenes and two other glasses bearing the signature 'J Wolff', one of which is dated 1780. The present goblet is unrecorded and therefore represents an important addition to this artist's oeuvre. The identity of J Wolff is unknown, but if he was a relative of the renowned master engraver David Wolff it can only be his brother Jacob, born in 1742, see Smit (1993), p.17.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Lot 133
A rare engraved crested 'Liberty' wine glass, circa 1745The waisted bucket bowl with a bridled horse passant upon a dual coronet, the reverse inscribed 'GEORGE AND LIBERTY' below the rim, on a plain stem and folded conical foot, 15cm highFootnotes:The motto on this glass is associated with anti-Jacobite sentiment expressing loyalty to the Hanoverian monarch. An ale goblet engraved with a virtually identical crest of a horse over a coronet identified as the White Horse of Hannover is illustrated by Sydney Crompton, English Glass (1967), p.128, pl.69. A set of six opaque twist goblets also bearing the same crest was sold by Sotheby's on 5 October 1993, lot 55.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
