FAQs

A stirrup glass is a type of drinking vessel traditionally handed to a rider while still seated in the saddle before a hunt or journey, designed without a flat base so it had to be emptied before setting it down.

These pieces were typically hand-blown from lead glass or flint glass, often featuring wheel-engraved or cut decoration, and characteristically shaped into animal forms, hunting boots, or horns.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-appropriate characteristics such as pontil marks on the base, minor surface wear consistent with age, subtle variations in hand-blown glass thickness, and characteristic lead content detectable under UV light.

Antique glass items add historical depth and texture when displayed within glass cabinets, styled on open shelving, or used as distinctive accent objects on a mantelpiece or side table.

Antique glass should be washed by hand using lukewarm water and mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals, sudden temperature changes, and dishwasher cycles to protect the fragile structure and surface finish.
