Wine glass with ogee shaped bowl, hexagonal faceted stem with faceted flutes to the lower bowl, domed circular foot with pontil-mark ground out; the glass is wheel engraved beneath the rim with the name of its owner.

This glass is engraved 'W. Williams' for Watkin Williams (1742-1808) of Penbedw, Flintshire. It was almost certainly made for use at the dinners of the Cycle of the White Rose, a dining club with Jacobite sympathies established in 1710.
