1760s Georgian Crystal Wedding Chalice

An exceptional Georgian rummer glass dating to the mid-to-late 18th century, featuring a classic bell-shaped bowl raised on a finely proportioned stem. Rummers were traditionally used for celebratory toasts and communal drinking, prized for their elegant form and satisfying weight in hand. This example is particularly special, bearing a period engraving reading “Ann Jackson / Norwood Surry,” suggesting it was likely commissioned as a wedding or commemorative chalice — a common practice in Georgian England, where engraved glassware marked significant life events such as marriages, anniversaries, and inheritances.

Hand-blown and engraved, this piece reflects the craftsmanship and social customs of 18th-century Britain, when personalized glassware served both functional and symbolic roles. A rare and evocative survivor, ideal for collectors of early English glass or those drawn to objects with documented personal history.
