FAQs

Eighteenth-century glass decanters typically feature hand-blown lead or soda-lime glass bodies, often with wheel-engraved floral or geometric motifs, tapering necks, and polished pontil marks on the base reflecting period manufacturing techniques.

These vessels were mouth-blown using free-blown or dip-moulded techniques, often incorporating heavy-metal oxides in lead glass for clarity, and finished with hand-cut or wheel-engraved detailing alongside matching solid glass stoppers.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the pontil scar on the underside, minor surface irregularities and air bubbles characteristic of manual blowing, wear patination, and the specific style of stopper fitting and hand-engraving.

They can be displayed on a mirrored tray, sideboard, or bar cart, allowing natural light to highlight the engraved details and contrasting against contemporary metal or stone surfaces.

Clean antique glass gently with lukewarm water and mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners, and never submerge stoppers tightly or expose them to rapid temperature changes to prevent cracking.
