A delicate and elegant form, the trumpet bowl engraved with six-petalled rose with convex centers,

The fully opened rose : as the Old Pretender James III, or the Crown of England;
The partially opened bud : generally for Prince Charles.,
but in some occasions with two buds, for the Old Pretender;
The unopened bud : (with a single bud) for the Old Pretender James III, or Prince Charles;
(with two buds) for the Old Pretender James III, or Prince Henry;
(Seddon, The Jacobites & their Drinking Glasses)

Condition : The foot underside possibly with a very tiny fill; the drawn stem with slight bow (in the making);
otherwise without chips or damages
