Georgian Jacobite wine glasses is a type of drinking glass that is named after the Jacobite movement, a political movement that aimed to restore the Stuart dynasty to the British throne. Jacobite wine glasses were made to commemorate the Stuart dynasty and the Jacobite cause, and often featured a variety of decorative elements that symbolized the movement. For example, some glasses had a portrait of Charles Edward Stuart, the "Young Pretender," or an engraving of a rose, which was a symbol of the Jacobite cause. The glasses were often made in sets of six or more and were used for serving wine or other alcoholic beverages. They were typically made of clear glass and had a delicate, elegant design, with a tall, slender stem and a wide, round bowl. They are considered a classic example of Georgian glassware and are admired for their historical significance and fine craftsmanship.
