FAQs

During the 19th century, glass engraving advanced significantly with the use of copper wheels and diamond points, allowing artisans to create detailed botanical and heraldic motifs on functional tableware and serving vessels.

These vessels were typically produced from lead crystal or soda-lime glass using free-blown or mold-blown techniques, followed by hand-cutting, wheel-engraving, and often fitted with cork stoppers.

Authentic pieces often exhibit pontil marks on the base, minor irregularities in the glass distribution resulting from hand-blowing, and hand-cut or wheel-engraved details showing appropriate surface wear and age-related patination.

Antique glass bottles can be displayed on open shelving, used as bud vases for single stems, or styled on a drinks trolley to introduce texture, transparency, and historical character to a contemporary space.

Antique glass should be washed by hand using warm water and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive sponges, harsh chemicals, and sudden temperature changes to prevent thermal shock and preserve the delicate engraved surface.
