Here we have a set of three stunning Scottish Victorian engraved glasses of the highest quality. They all bear various family adaptions of the name WILLIAM FRAIN engraved on them. William Frain was a glass maker in Dundee who also had a retail shop. We believe these three glasses were display glasses from the shop which were used both to show off Frain's ability as a glass maker but also to show what type of engraving he could undertake.

The small liqueur glass has a beautiful multi point star cut base, fluted cuttings to the base, wonderful intricate thistle engraving and has WF plus 24th August 1892 engraved on it. Its size is 2 1/4" diameter by 3 3/4" high.

The coffee can shaped handled glass also has a beautiful multi point star cut base, a much higher fluted cut base and is also beautifully engraved with thistles in the most intricate detailed manner. This glass has Eleanor. Lockhart. Frain. Born 6th June 1890 engraved on it. The glass has also been purposely made with a pronounced bend in it. It's size is 2 1/4" diameter by 3 1/4" high.

The tall beaker style glass has a plain base with fluted cutting to the base part of it. This time engraved with flowers and foliage, I'm no expert on flowers but they look like blue bells to me, again the detail is superb. This glass has William Frain 1878 engraved on it. It's size is 3 1/2" diameter by 6" high.
