Your beer glass has the wrong date, it should be 1780-1800. That is the good news, the bad news is it looks like the foot has been trimmed.
When they stopped folding the feet, they initially brought the foot of the glass out to thin edge, but then they would get chips, so it is common to see them trimmed. I have a similar glass that is untrimmed, but with chips.
Thanks for commenting lovedecanters.
Maybe England was 1780-1800 but not in here.
Time frame is different because glassworkers moving around world and patters came along, these patters came in finland much later. In Finland these goblets are dated in late 1800's.
