An interesting commemorative opaque twist wine glass of theatrical interest, circa 1770The decoration later, the generous ogee bowl engraved with a half-length profile portrait of the Welsh actress Sarah Siddons, her right arm raised to her chin, within a formal scrollwork and beaded frame, the reverse with a floral spray within an oval scroll cartouche, flanked by rectangular panels containing swags pendant from florets, on a double-series stem containing a nine-ply spiral band around a solid corkscrew tape, over a conical foot, 16.5cm highFootnotes:ProvenanceSotheby's, 26 May 1981, lot 50With Asprey, October 1985Christie's, 18 November 2008, lot 43Graham Vivian CollectionStephen Pohlmann CollectionLiteratureL M Bickerton, Eighteenth Century English Drinking Glasses (1986), p.293, no.937Sarah Siddons (1755-1831) was Britain's leading tragic actress, a contemporary of David Garrick and most famous for her portrayal of Lady Macbeth. She won her first success in the role of Belvidera in 1774 and had obtained celebrity status by the mid-1780s. She was famously painted by Sir Joshua Reynolds in 1784 in her role as the 'Tragic Muse'. Several engraved glasses with related portraits are recorded and the attribution of these to Mrs Siddons is discussed by Arthur Churchill, Glass Notes, no.16 (1956), pp.19-20. Siddons rose to fame after the period in which this glass was made, suggesting that the engraving is later, perhaps undertaken at the Pugh Glasshouse in Dublin by an engraver such as Franz Tieze. An identical glass from the Rose Collection was sold by Sotheby's on 6 March 1978, lot 58 and another is illustrated by E Barrington Haynes, Glass Through the Ages (1959), pl.83d. A detail of the same glass is illustrated by Arthur Churchill, p.19, fig.22.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

An example from the Hewlett Collection is in the British Museum (inv. no.1924,1022.6.CR), illustrated by both Francis Buckley, A History of Old English Glass (1925), pl.LVIII and Hugh Tait, Five Thousand Years of Glass (1991), pl.241. A pair in the R P Morris Collection was sold by Sotheby's on 22 January 1957, lot 48. One glass from this pair was sold again by Sotheby's on 24 November 1975, lot 108. The other was subsequently brought together with another glass from the original set, presumed to be the present lot, to form the pair in the Walter F Smith Collection sold by Sotheby's on 4 December 1967, lot 166. One of the Smith pair is now in the Durrington Collection, illustrated by Peter Dodsworth in his catalogue (2006), p.46, no.39 and was also acquired from Asprey. The same glass features on the dustjacket of R J Charleston, English Glass (1984).Two very similarly engraved glasses, but without the birds in the border are in the Victoria and Albert Museum (inv. no.C.167-1956) and the Corning Museum of Glass (inv. no.79.2.68). A related engraved example in blue glass, again without birds, is also in the Victoria and Albert Museum (inv. no.C.166-1956). It seems likely that the engraving is by a Continental hand, most likely Dutch. A number of wine glasses with very related engraving incorporating birds, attributed to the Northern Netherlands, are illustrated by Pieter C Ritsema van Eck, Glass in the Rijksmuseum, Vol.2 (1995), pp.346-7, nos.409-12.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
