Lot Essay
Only one other glass of this type is recorded, the example sold at Sotheby's on 2nd July 1985, lot 692 (also with damage to the footrim). Whilst it has not been possible, to date, to trace the ship and owner or captain commemorated on this glass, both the name of the ship and the name of the captain are recorded, although not at this date.
This glass has always been called a 'Privateer' glass, but as the portholes on the ship are closed, it may be a trading vessel.
