FAQs

Opaque twist wine glasses feature a stem containing white or coloured enamel glass threads drawn into spiral patterns, produced predominantly in England during the mid-18th century.

These pieces were crafted from lead glass, known for its high refractive index and weight. The opaque twists were formed by embedding enamel glass rods into a molten gather of clear glass before being drawn and twisted.

Authentic examples exhibit characteristic manufacturing traits such as pontil marks on the underside of the foot, wear consistent with age, minor air bubbles within the metal, and precise, hand-drawn enamel threads.

Antique stemware adds historical texture and refined detail when displayed within glass-fronted cabinets, on open shelving, or utilised as occasional bud vases for single stems.

Antique glass should be washed by hand in warm water using mild detergent, avoiding abrasive materials or sudden temperature changes to prevent thermal shock and structural damage.
