FINE PERRIN GEDDES PRINCE OF WALES SERVICE LIQUEUR GLASS CIRCA 1806 - 1810 the slightly flared bowl finely engraved with the Prince of Wales crest and motto ICH DIEN, above a rope band and wrythen bowl bases, on octagonal stems with diamond cut knops and ending in a star cut eight-pointed base, ensuite with the preceding lot (9cm high, rim 4.9cm diameter, foot 5.7cm diameter) Footnote: Note: In 1806 the Prince of Wales visited Liverpool. In gratitude, the Council ordered a huge suite of table glass for him from the local manufacturer Perrin, Geddes & Co. of Warrington. When it arrived, the Prince thanked them for 'the most beautiful and ornamental specimens he ever saw of this valuable manufacture'. The suite took over a year to make, and probably involved the work of a number of craftsmen. The local glass-cutter John Unsworth, who styled himself 'Manufacturer to His Majesty and to His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales', may have been one.
