Plain stem wine glasses from the Georgian era are characterised by straight, unadorned stems, often featuring a folded foot and made from lead glass with characteristic optical properties.

These drinking vessels were traditionally handblown from lead glass, which imparted a heavier weight and a clearer ring than contemporary soda glass.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit pontil marks on the base, minor surface abrasions consistent with age, and slight bubbles or striations trapped within the handmade glass.

Antique stemware can be styled inside glass-fronted cabinets, displayed on open shelving with adequate lighting, or used selectively for tablescaping in period settings.

Antique glass should be washed by hand in lukewarm water using mild detergent, avoiding sudden temperature changes and abrasive sponges to prevent damage.
