An engraved light-baluster wine glassmid 18th CenturyThe rounded funnel bowl engraved with a thistle and the inscription 'NEMO ME IMPUNE LACESSET' (no one wounds (touches) me with impunity), set on a tall slender teared multi-knopped stem incorporating a beaded inverted baluster, over a conical foot, 18cm high.Footnotes:Provenance: Bonhams sale, 21 May 2014, lot 80, where acquired by Peter LoleThe Peter Lole CollectionAlthough misspelt, the inscription is the motto of the Order of the Thistle. This Scottish Order of Chivalry, the perquisite of Scottish kings and high nobility, was linked to the Jacobite political movement. The Order of the Thistle was established in the late 17th century and revived by Queen Anne. Knights of the Order would have been appointed by the monarch, and it is possible that this glass was commissioned by one of them. A glass engraved with a thistle and the same motto was sold in these rooms, 2 June 2004, lot 95, and in The Scottish Sale, 23 August 2006, lot 482. Another glass with comparable engraving of a thistle and the same motto is in the collection of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, accession no. 1953-29-9.Peter Lole, in unpublished notes on this glass speculates that this glass is probably Dutch in origin and also engraved in Holland. He speculates that the glass was perhaps made for export, presumably to Scotland, or for a Scot resident in Holland or Northern Europe. This person might have been a Jacobite Knight of the Thistle or a Scot who wished to emphasize his adherence to the Stuart monarchy. In the first category there were at this time only two non-royal survivors, both coincidentally created knights in 1725 by James III & VIII: the troublesome James Murray, Earl of Dunbar, who died at Avignon in 1770 and George Keith, 10th Earl Marischal, who lived until 1778. Prince Charles is also a possible candidate. For a Scot who was not a Thistle Knight but who resided in Holland and was a committed and exiled Jacobite, Lord George Murray, who died at Medemblik in 1760 is also a possibility.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
