Georgian, Continental (probably German) green glass enamelled tumbler

This is a late Georgian, Continental (probably German) tumbler dating from the turn of the 18th/19th centuries, c1800. The glass is in excellent condition for its age. It shows age related wear and tear to the rim of the foot commensurate with some 200 years of use. It has a rough pontil mark on the underside of the foot. The glass has a bell-shaped bowl measuring 7.5 cm (3 inches) in diameter at the rim. The bowl has been decorated with trailing to the top one fifth and with hand enamelled white flowers to the lower portion on one side of the glass. The bowl is otherwise plain and sits on a thick, conical foot which measures 7.2 cm (2.9 inches) in diameter. The glass is 12.2 cm (4.9 inches) in height. There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any obvious evidence of restoration. There is a collector’s sticker to the top of the foot. There are a lot of tiny unburst bubbles in the metal of the bowl; consistent with the soda glass of the period. Probably made from thick soda glass weighing in at 195 g. (~ 7 oz.).
