A privateer wine glass, c.1780, the drawn trumpet bowl engraved 'J Barton / Success to the Unity', raised on a plain stem with a long teardrop above a folded conical foot, 18cm. More than one ship called The Unity was involved in the American Wars of Independence, and it is likely that this glass relates to one of them. Paper label for the Scrivener collection.
A Jacobite portrait firing glass, c.1740, the trumpet bowl rising from a short teardrop stem and engraved with the head and shoulders of Bonnie Prince Charlie, with the motto 'Audentior Ibo', raised on a thick firing foot, 10.5cm. Cf. Geoffrey B. Seddon, Jacobites and Their Drinking Glasses, p.90, pl.30 for a similar example.

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.

IMPORTANT SET OF SIX JACOBITE ENGRAVED COLOURED ENAMEL TWIST WINE GLASSES MID-18TH CENTURY the drawn trumpet bowls finely engraved with open rose head flanked by open and closed buds within foliage, the reverse with large moth, raised on a slightly tapered stem with intricate white enamel twist surrounded by a double red and white enamel twist (6) Height: 18.7cm, diameter of foot: 7.5cm Note: This rare set of six Jacobite wine glasses is remarkable as 'sets' of Jacobite glassware are virtually unheard of. This may be due to the majority of Jacobite glasses being made as singles or pairs, or that sets have regularly been split up over the years. The latter seems unlikely as there would always have been great status and value in keeping a complete set together, suggesting groups like this were very rarely made. This set is also important due to the mixed red and white enamel stems. Although coloured stems in British drinking glasses are not uncommon, to find any coloured stems in Jacobite glass, let alone two colours, is remarkable. In Seddon's 'The Jacobites and Their Drinking Glasses', he recorded 436 Jacobite drinking glasses, of these only seven are listed with coloured stems. It is tantalizing to consider that these glasses must have sat on a Jacobite table, belonging to a supporter who was very confident in his position and status, and who had a close group of companions he could share his views with. As such a statement of wealth, taste and prominence within the Jacobite community, it can be assumed they were owned by an important high-ranking Jacobite.
