FAQs

Georgian glassware, particularly from the 18th century, is characterised by lead crystal compositions, hand-blown manufacturing techniques, and distinctive stem formations such as air twists, opaque twists, and incised twists.

These vessels were typically produced using lead glass or soda glass, shaped via free-blowing or mould-blowing techniques, and finished with hand-tooled stems and applied flat or folded feet.

Authentication involves examining the pontil mark on the underside of the base, checking for characteristic wear scratches (age wear), analysing the weight and clarity of the metal, and identifying period-specific manufacturing flaws like tiny air bubbles.

Antique stemware can be displayed within glass-fronted cabinets, utilized on open shelving as sculptural accents, or integrated into table settings to add historical depth and tactile contrast to contemporary schemes.

Antique glass should be washed by hand in lukewarm water using a mild detergent, avoiding harsh scrubbing or sudden temperature changes, and dried immediately with a lint-free cloth.
