FAQs

An opaque twist cordial glass is a form of drinking vessel produced during the 18th century, characterised by white or coloured enamelled glass threads twisted within the stem.

These glasses were traditionally crafted using lead glass, with the stems incorporating fine opaque white glass rods, known as latticinio, drawn and twisted during the manufacturing process.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit signs of age such as a rough pontil mark on the underside of the foot, wear consistent with handling, and minor bubbles or striations within the metal of the glass.

Antique stemware is frequently displayed within glass-fronted cabinets, on open shelving with adequate support, or styled within dedicated collection displays to highlight its historical craftsmanship.

Antique glass should be washed by hand in lukewarm water using a mild, non-abrasive detergent and dried thoroughly with a soft, lint-free cloth to prevent chemical damage and surface scratching.
