Description

Technical Description

A superb 18th-century composite wine glass. It has a bell bowl above an air beaded shoulder knop above a multi spiral air twist with upper and basal knops. Conical foot.

Date & Origin

England, c1750

Condition

Excellent, age-related wear as shown. No chips cracks or restoration.

Dimensions

Height: 17.4cm Rim diameter: 6.7cm, Foot diameter: 7.5cm.

Comments

A composite stem is made up from two or more recognised stem forms, e.g. plain stem & opaque twist stem, opaque twist stem & air twist stem or knops, air twist stem or knops & plain stem etc.

You can see various composite stem glasses in Bickerton starting on page 188. Composite Stems form a very small section of the overall 18th cen glass forms. Production levels were small and as such they are highly desirable and difficult to source.

Many composite stems are often misdescribed and a small 1-2cm plain stem section just below the bowl (required for joining the bowl to the stem) on a knopped air twist, most certainly does not make it a composite stem.

FAQs

A composite wine glass from the Georgian era features a stem constructed from two or more distinct glass-forming techniques, such as combining an air twist or opaque twist section with a knop or facet-cut section.

These pieces were typically crafted from lead glass, introduced in the late 17th century, which allowed for clearer walls and intricate manipulations of the stem while retaining weight and brilliance.

Authentic pieces often exhibit pontil marks on the underside of the foot, wear scratches consistent with age, minor inclusions or bubbles within the metal, and specific stem construction styles characteristic of the period.

Antique stemware can be displayed within glass-fronted cabinets, utilized on bar carts for a curated aesthetic, or styled on open shelving to introduce historical texture and transparent forms into a modern scheme.

Antique glass should be washed by hand in warm water using a mild detergent, avoiding sudden temperature changes and abrasive sponges, and dried thoroughly with a lint-free cloth.
