Description

This is an English, Georgian, gadrooned tankard dating from the late 18th century, c1780.

The tankard is in excellent condition for its age. This means, of course, that it shows age related wear and tear to both the rim of the bowl and to the rim of the foot. It has a rough pontil mark on the base.

The glass has a baluster-shaped bowl measuring 7.8 cm (3.1 inches) in diameter at the rim. The bowl is decorated with simulated trailing to the top and with gadrooning to the lower third. The strap handle was first applied to the top of the bowl and then to the bottom where it ends with a well-formed curlicue. The base measures 7.2 cm (2.9 inches) in diameter. The glass is 13.8 cm (5.5 inches) in height. There are a couple of small inclusions in the metal of the bowl, one just under the rim. There is some light scratching to the inside of the bowl caused by historical over zealous cleaning. . There are no chips, cracks, other significant scratches or any other obvious evidence of restoration.

It is made from English lead metal weighing in at 455 g. (~ 1 lb.).

FAQs

Georgian glassware, produced during the reigns of the four King Georges from 1714 to 1830, is characterised by heavy lead metal content, deep optical or moulded fluting, and pontil marks on the base resulting from hand-blown manufacturing techniques.

These items were typically hand-blown from lead glass or early flint glass, often utilising open or multipart moulds to create structural details such as gadrooning, ribs, and applied solid glass handles.

Authentic pieces exhibit heavy weight due to lead oxide content, irregular surface bubbles, minor abrasion marks consistent with age, and a rough or polished pontil scar on the underside of the base.

Such pieces can be displayed on open shelving, utilized as a distinctive vase for short-stemmed florals, or integrated into a curated bar cart arrangement to add historical texture to contemporary spaces.

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