A substantial and well-balanced service of seventeen English drinking glasses, all executed in clear blown glass with the distinctive early 19th-century Lemon Squeezer foot — a square, step-cut base with radiating flutes resembling a citrus press. Each is raised on a short stem terminating in a domed knop, and the bowls are uniformly wheel-engraved with a continuous border of stylised leaf and star motifs. The set is notable not only for its completeness but for its graduated suite of sizes, signalling intended use across the Regency table from wine and water to dessert or liqueur service. The form, cutting style, engraving, and foot profile are consistent with English manufacture, circa 1810.

This suite comprises four distinct sizes:

Measurements: 5.725" h x 3.75" w

Medium goblets (3 William Yeoward)
