This glass is similar in design to the glasses in a service made for the Prince of Wales by Perrin Geddes of Warrington c. 1806-10, but a drawing in the Victoria and Albert Museum, E.784-1978 by John Jones, shows a similar glass engraved 'J.A.M.' and on the drawing inscribed 'Had by J.A. Mandezabal'. John Jones, was one of the sons of Francis Jones (d. 1834), who had taken over the firm of John Blades after the latter's death in 1829. The V. & A. also has a sheet of drawings by Leopold William Jones dating from c. 1840 which also shows this shape. The firm continued until 1857. J.A.M. was presumably the Spanish economist and politician Juan Álvarez Mendizábal (1790-1853), who lived in England from 1823 until returning to Spain in the mid 1830s.
