The pan top bowl engraved to the upper border engraved with
a scrolling band of flowers including :
a 6-petalled rose, honeysuckle, apple blossom and asters, passion flower, carnation, lily of the valley,
sunflower, and trailing forget-me-nots
above a multiple strand airtwist stem with central swelling knop and conical foot;
the pontil lightly polished as it seems to be on other glasses of this form
Notes :
A pair of wine glasses (Drambuie Collection) having seemingly identical borders,
is illustrated in The Jacobites and their Glasses, Geoffrey Seddon, (2015), pl. 33,
with the following notation :
"With a little imagination the initial letters of the flowers can sometimes be made to spell 'Charles'".
(Carnation, Honeysuckle, Apples, Rose, Sunflower)
In Jacobite symbolism, the well known six-petaled rose represented the Stuart Kings,
the carnation "a coronation", the honeysuckle "Fidelity", and the sunflower "unswerving loyalty".
