Large Antique Ale Goblets with Wrythen Petal Decor Set 4

Set of Four Large Antique Ale Glasses with Wrythen Decor

Antique ale glasses blown from a wrythen mold, circa 18th century , probably English made.  The decor can be described as wrythen, blown from mold and hand twisted, or it can be described as ‘petal mold’, or mould as they would say in England.

Large antique ale glasses set of FOUR date to the Edwardian period, late 1700’s to early 1800’s. Exceptional find. No chips or cracks. No discoloring or liquid stains. Very heavy bottom-wear indicative of very old age.

Hand blown from mold. The flutes at the base of the vessel are called Wrythen. Also called Petal Molded. Thick glass. Each weigh 1 lb. Tall antique ale glasses measure approx. 6.25″ tall, 2.75″ wide rim, 3″ wide foot. Note the foot is wider than the rim. Measurements on each vary slightly. Foot and stem are applied (made separately, then attached to vessel). Trapped air bubbles, tool marks and cooling lines are present.
