FAQs

An 18th-century rib-moulded ale glass is a historic drinking vessel characterised by vertical fluting or ribbing on the bowl, typically used for serving ales and beers during the Georgian period.

These glasses were traditionally hand-blown using lead metal or soda glass, often shaped with optical rib moulds to create distinctive tactile patterns along the vessel body.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit pontil marks on the base, minor surface wear or inclusions within the handle and bowl, and weight characteristics consistent with historic lead glass manufacturing.

An antique glass can be displayed within glass-fronted cabinets, on open shelving as part of a curated collection, or utilised safely as a decorative accent piece.

Antique glassware should be hand washed gently in lukewarm water using mild detergent, dried immediately with a lint-free cloth, and kept away from extreme temperature fluctuations.
