[145] Another example with similar frame, but with a broader tang and no ornamental ridge, was found in the same context.
[146] See Noël Hume, "Excavations at Rosewell," p. 224, no. 10, and Archaeology in Britain (London: Foyle, 1953), p. 107, fig. 23, no. 17.
[147] It is possible that this leg originally spread out into a foot in the style of no. 6. See Hudson, New Discoveries at Jamestown, p. 30, fig. at left.
[148] For similar examples, see Noël Hume, "Excavations at Rosewell," p. 200, fig. 22, nos. 6, 7.
[149] For a parallel of the stem form only, see George Bernard Hughes, English, Scottish and Irish Table Glass from the Sixteenth Century to 1820 (London: Batsford, 1956), fig. 35, no. 1. A rather similar baluster shape, about 1695, is shown in E. M. Elville, "Starting a Collection of Glass," Country Life (June 11, 1959), vol. 125, no. 3256, p. 1329, fig. 1. A tavern glass, attributed to the period 1685-1690, whose baluster has a large tear, but which otherwise is a good parallel, is shown in The Antique Dealer and Collector's Guide (April 1954), p. 29, fig. at left.
[150] The metal was tested for lead with positive results.
[151] A slightly larger stem from a glass of similar form was found outside the kitchen in deposit T.N. 1; not illustrated.
[152] For a glass of comparable form, but of soda metal, see G. B. Hughes, "Old English Ale Glasses," Wine and Spirit Trade Record (April 15, 1954), p. 428 and fig. 1.
[153] For a similar stem shape attributed to the last decade of the 17th century see A. Hartshorne, Old English Glasses (London, 1897), p. 245, pl. 34.
[154] The association of color and style of decoration coupled with the relationship of diameter to height as displayed here is generally indicative of early date. In the 18th century, jars of this diameter tended to be taller, less spread at the base, and with the blue decoration much darker.
