Description

This is a Georgian, English, Masonic-engraved beaker glass or tumbler dating from the turn of the 18th/19th centuries, c1800.

The glass is in excellent condition for its age. This means, of course, that it shows age related wear and tear to the rim of the base consistent with nearly 200 years of use. It has a rough pontil mark on the underside of the base.

The glass has a bucket-shaped bowl measuring 8.5 cm. (3.4 inches) in diameter at the rim. The bowl is engraved with a host of Masonic symbols including, we understand, those of King Solomon, his temple and of Hiram Abiff. The base measures 6.2 cm. (2.5 inches) in diameter. The glass is 11 cm (4.4 inches) in height. There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any obvious evidence of restoration.

It is made from lead metal weighing 285 g. (~ 10 oz.).

FAQs

Georgian glassware encompasses pieces produced during the reigns of the four British monarchs named George between 1714 and 1830, a period marked by significant advancements in glass manufacturing and lead crystal production.

These pieces were typically hand-blown using lead metal, which added weight, brilliance, and clarity, followed by surface decoration applied through wheel engraving, diamond-point engraving, or stippling.

Authentication involves examining the object for characteristic manufacturing traits such as a rough pontil mark on the base, inclusions or bubbles within the heavy lead metal, and wear consistent with age.

Such items are often displayed within glass-fronted cabinets, on open shelving, or utilised as distinctive mantelpiece and tabletop decorative accents to introduce historical texture to a room.

Historic glass should be washed by hand in lukewarm water using mild detergent, avoiding sudden temperature changes, and dried carefully with a soft lint-free cloth to protect the delicate surface.
