A RUMMER ENGRAVED WITH SHIPS

A charming rummer glass beautifully engraved with a continuous frieze of stylised sailing ships in full rig, linked by a delicate wave motif. The crisp engraving captures the maritime spirit of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, a period when sea trade and exploration were central to British identity.

Rummers such as this were often used for toasting prosperity, safe voyages, and naval victories, making this piece both decorative and historically evocative. The fine clarity of the glass and the whimsical precision of the engraving lend it a timeless nautical elegance.
