Descripción
Wine glasses engraved with decoration to show support for the Jacobite bid for the throne, first made in 1688 and in large quantities after 1745. They were used for drinking loyal toasts, which was an act of treason. Engraved decoration included Jacobite anthems and symbols such as the rose with two buds (for the Old and Young Pretender), lily of the valley, daffodils, oak leaves, and moths. Jacobite glasses have been extensively faked or the decoration added at a later date.
