Georgian glassware is characterised by heavy lead metal content, distinctive stem formations such as balusters or balustroids, and hand-blown manufacturing techniques that often exhibit pontil marks on the base.

These glasses were traditionally crafted using lead glass, which provided a heavier weight, high refractive index, and a clear ringing tone when struck. They were mouth-blown and shaped by hand using rudimentary tools.

Authentication relies on examining the weight, surface wear, presence of a rough or polished pontil mark on the underside of the foot, inclusion of small air bubbles within the metal, and characteristic tool marks from hand-forming.

An antique goblet can be displayed within glass-fronted cabinetry, styled on an open shelving unit as a sculptural object, or used as a striking focal point on a dining table or mantelpiece.

Antique glassware should be washed by hand using warm water and mild detergent without soaking. A soft cloth should be used for drying to prevent water spots, and abrasive sponges or dishwashers must be avoided entirely.
