A rare Jacobite wine glass c.1745-55
A rare Jacobite wine glass c.1745-55, engraved with the motto 'Turno Tempus Erit' above a rose spray, raised on an inverted baluster airtwist stem and a folded foot, 17cm.
The phrase Turno Tempus Erit is probably borrowed from Virgil, and roughly translates to mean 'The time will come'; perhaps an insinuation that the Hanoverian victory at the Battle of Culloden could be short-lived.
