This clear glass wine glass dates to the 18th century, originating in Belgium around 1725 in the Baroque style. The piece comprises a waisted round funnel bowl decorated with an all-over honeycomb mould pattern and a raised square nut moulding at the base of the bowl, resting upon a clear stem with a shoulder knop and basal knop above a conical folded foot. The glass stands 12.2 cm high, with a rim and foot diameter of 6 cm. The surface shows age-related wear with no chips, cracks, or restoration. Placed on a sideboard top or styled within a gentleman's library, this wine glass serves as a striking decorative vessel for display. The clear transparent material captures light, highlighting the intricate honeycomb moulding and the polished surfaces of the knopped stem and circular base. It functions as a historic collector's display piece suited for interior settings that appreciate period glassware.

FAQs

Glassware produced in Liege during the early 18th century is characterized by Venetian and Bohemian design influences, often featuring optic-moulded patterns such as honeycomb motifs, flared bowls, and knopped stems.

These pieces were individually hand-blown using soda-lime or potash glass mixtures, often shaped in patterned metal moulds to create subtle textured surfaces before being joined to hand-formed stems and conical bases.

Authentic period glassware typically displays a snapped or ground pontil mark on the underside of the base, subtle structural irregularities, minor embedded air bubbles, and slight natural grey or grey-green tinting within the glass formulation.

Antique stemware can be displayed inside illuminated glass cabinets, arranged on vintage bar carts, or used as elevated decorative accents on sideboards alongside classic leather-bound books.

Antique glass should be washed exclusively by hand in lukewarm water using mild washing-up liquid and a soft cloth, avoiding extreme temperature fluctuations and dishwashers to prevent thermal shock or surface clouding.
