FINE JACOBITE ENGRAVED WINE GLASS MID-18TH CENTURY the large drawn trumpet bowl finely engraved with displayed rose head flanked by open and closed buds with foliage, the reverse engraved in script 'Fiat' above an oak leaf, raised on a slightly tapered multi air twist cylindrical stem and a domed circular foot Height: 17.9cm, Diameter of foot: 8.3cm Note: This elegant glass closely resembles the important set of eleven glasses and two decanters from Chastleton Manor, Oxfordshire, now split between private collections and the National Trust (who have a decanter and four glasses). It had previously been thought that this was the 12th glass for the set, however, there is a size difference between this glass and the Chastleton pieces. This cannot be easily explained, unless this was the Master glass. The glasses and decanters discovered at Chastleton Manor are considered to be from one of the oldest established Jacobite Societies, the Cavalier Club: founded in 1657 it ran well into the reign of Queen Victoria. Chastleton seems to have been the centre of the Club's activities throughout the 18th century and the owner, Henry Jones, was a zealous supporter until his death in 1761. Jones planted Scots fir trees within the grounds, often termed as 'Charlies Trees', and they were rumoured to be navigation markers for fleeing Jacobites given shelter and sustenance on their retreat or escape.
