Though a related document was mentioned in the original computer record, no such document was located as of 8/98. Despite the fact that the wine glass appears, superficially, to date to the eighteenth century, the unusual, multi-knopped stem and lack of wear suggest a later date of manufacture.
Due to ongoing research, information about this object is subject to change.
