FAQs

Nineteenth-century engraved glass often featured intricate wheel-cut or acid-etched floral, foliate, and geometric motifs, reflecting the high craftsmanship and decorative tastes of the Victorian era.

These pieces were typically mouth-blown using coloured glass batches, then hand-finished with wheel-engraving and fitted with stoppers made of glass or metal.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit pontil marks on the base, minor irregularities consistent with hand-blowing, and hand-cut detailing rather than modern mould lines.

They can be displayed on a sideboard, bar cart, or open shelving to introduce warm colour tones, texture, and historical contrast to modern spaces.

Clean antique glass gently using lukewarm water and mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals and abrasive brushes, and never submerge metal-fitted stoppers in water.
