Footnote
The unusual style of the engraved rose head is the unique pattern attributed to Engraver G as described in 'The Jacobites and their Drinking Glasses' G Seddon.
The unusual star engraved to the reverse of the bowl is either a representation of the Garter star associated with the Most Noble Order of the Garter (some rare Jacobite glasses are recorded with this), of which Charles Edward Stuart was a member, or a star and rose combining two known emblems.
