| Object history | Probably a pair with a goblet in the G. F. Berney Collection (now probably Cinzano Collection: see Charleston (1984) pl.41b), signed 'Beilby Ncastle invt & pinxt'. Under the base, names have been scratched with a diamond after the stem had been broken and the stump ground down: 'Mrs Ashley 1803', 'J. G. Johnston 1866 Daniel J'. Perhaps painted to commemorate the birth of George IV (12 August 1762). The nine existing goblets with the royal arms of George III, painted by the Beilby workshop, are discussed by Simon Cottle in 'Family Connections: The Formative Years of Beilby Enamelled Glass `1760-765', Journal of Glass Studies, Corning Museum of Glass, Vol. 57 (2015), pp.191-194. This example is illustrated as Fig.9, p.191 (RP 36/5695) C.780-793-1936 were given by Queen Mary. |
