FAQs

An opaque twist wine glass is a type of drinking vessel produced in England during the 18th century, characterised by white or coloured enamel glass threads encased within the stem.

These glasses were typically hand-blown using lead glass, with the stem formed by drawing out molten glass or incorporating pre-formed enamel twists into the structure.

Authentic pieces often exhibit pontil marks on the base, minor surface wear consistent with age, and specific stylistic traits such as multi-series stems or folded feet.

Antique stemware can be displayed within glass-fronted cabinets, open shelving, or utilised as refined table accents to add historic character to contemporary spaces.

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