Traditionally these rare flutes were thought to have been used for ale or beer, but it has been suggested that they may have instead been designed for champagne, see Dwight P Lanmon, The Golden Age of English Glass (2011), pp.117-9 and 121. It is also possible that it was used for wine. A related moulded-stem ale glass from the Richard Emmanuel Collection is illustrated by Delomosne and Son, A Gathering of Glass (2010), no.34a. For an example with an inverted baluster stem see that illustrated by both Francis Buckley, Old English Glass (1925), pl.12 and W A Thorpe, A History of English and Irish Glass (1929), pl.XLIV, fig.3 and sold by Bonhams on 1 December 2021, lot 54.
