Talking Deceptive Glass
This came to me recently; Early Georgian period. Georgian banquets featured lots of toasting around the table. this glass would probably have been used by the Toastmaster at a banquet. This would help the fellow from getting foxed during the courses of the meal. Since I love a good Porto it intrigued me enough to buy an antique one from Old Blighty.

Cheers!
