Great video. I have be a few capstan stems I'd always put around 1830. I think you'd be worth getting Peter Adamson's opinion on the folded foot glass.
The very first glass you show does have a capstan stem. The other glasses appear to have simple or rudimentary stems with knopping. These are not capstan stemmed glasses. Do you have Edward Barrington Haynes' book "Glass throughout the ages", first published by Penguin Books in 1948, revised in 1959? I expect you do, and if so turn to page 193, "Nomenclature and Classification" for pages of line drawings of bowls, foot forms, and also stem formations both simple and specialized. This book has 96 plates "depicting more than 450 glasses dating from the fifth century B.C. until recent times." Plates 91 to 96 inclusive are of particular interest here.
I have the 1948 version of the book. It only has 64 plates. In my version plates 63 and 64 have rudimentary stems and and capstans with and without bladed knops are all rudimentary stems, plus a bunch of others. I will try and find the 1959 version.
Really interesting thanks 👍🍺
I really enjoyed the details you go into here thanks 👍
Very interesting! Now running around house having a look at all my glass!
Thank you my friend.
Thought I'd come back and say I definitely have some of these

I have a few with that swag and ribbon motif, and it’s in the Warren Phelps Irish Glass book.

I’ve ordered one on eBay. It looks substantially thicker than my copy.
I think you can describe the stems as 'capstan with medial blade knops'.
