A rare deceptive Toastmasters cordial glass ,having a deceptive and engraved ogee bowl on a tall double series twist stem composed of an inner pair of corkscrew threads wit a multi ply band around , all on a helmet domed foot .

Height 6 7/8th ins 17.5 cm

With these glasses I am always drawn to quote from ,,,,"Strengths and Cheerfulness" The John Towse Collection of Tall Cordial Glasses , by Delomosne & Son Ltd 1997,

The provision of bowls of deceptive capacity for cordial glasses appears absurd and few explanations hold water !! One can only retreat to the practise of describing all deceptive glasses as Toastmasters.

Cordials of this type are considered to be of Irish origin.

A superb example in perfect original condition.
