Monticello Stemware: Wine Glass

Monticello Stemware: Wine GlassThomas Jefferson was a true wine connoisseur. This glass, with its clean form and exquisite engraving, speak volumes about his taste for fine design. Jefferson purchased a great deal of glassware between 1767 and 1821, but very little survives.
