FAQs

Glassware from the late Georgian and early Victorian eras is characterised by heavy lead content, hand-blown forms, and intricate wheel-engraved or cut ornamentation, reflecting technological advancements in glass manufacturing.

These pieces were typically hand-blown using lead glass (flint glass), which offered greater clarity and weight, then hand-finished using copper-wheel engraving and polishing techniques.

Authentic pieces often exhibit small surface irregularities, pontil marks on the base, minor wear scratches consistent with age, and a distinctive heavy feel due to the high lead oxide content.

They can be displayed within open shelving units, used functionally on a bar cart, or styled on a dining table to add historical texture and reflective light to contemporary settings.

Antique glass should be washed exclusively by hand in lukewarm water using mild detergent, avoiding sudden temperature changes and abrasive sponges to protect the delicate surface finish.
