"C.1810 Masonic Engraved Rummer Glass With Lemon Squeezer Base – Georgian Period"
A rare and beautifully preserved Georgian rummer glass, circa 1810, featuring Masonic engravings on all five sides and a distinctive lemon squeezer foot. This ceremonial piece blends symbolic depth with masterful craftsmanship. • Side One: A Star of David within a circle, flanked by architectural arches and columns, evoking sacred geometry and structural symbolism. • Side Two: A crescent moon and stars, a classical column with a sphere, and the all-seeing eye, representing cosmic order, enlightenment, and divine oversight. • Side Three: A radiant all-seeing eye, a leafy branch (likely acacia, symbolizing immortality), and geometric forms reflecting Masonic ideals of balance and virtue. • Side Four: A shield-like emblem, possibly a lodge crest or symbolic coat of arms, framed by scrollwork and ornamental flourishes. • Side Five: A composition of triangles, squares, and lattice patterns, etched with precision to form a decorative and geometric tableau—suggesting themes of order, structure, and craftsmanship central to Masonic philosophy. The glass is hand-blown, with a solid stem and a square base featuring the classic lemon squeezer design, typical of early 19th-century glassware. Its clarity and symmetry, combined with the depth of symbolic engraving, make it a ritual object of historical significance. Perfect for collectors of Freemasonry memorabilia, Georgian glass, or symbolic art, this rummer stands as a testament to the intersection of ceremony, craft, and esoteric tradition.
