Originating in the late 17th century and continuing through the Georgian era, monteiths and bonnet glasses were specialised vessels primarily used for rinsing wine glasses at the table or serving individual portions of desserts.

These pieces were typically crafted from lead glass or lime glass, often shaped using dip moulds or pattern-moulding techniques to create distinct exterior ribs, flutes, or indentations before being finished by hand.

Authentic pieces often exhibit characteristic pontil marks on the base, minor surface abrasions, tiny trapped air bubbles within the metal, and slight irregularities in symmetry that betray hand-crafted production.

These historical objects can be displayed on open shelving, sideboards, or inside glass-fronted cabinets where natural light can pass through the clear material, adding texture and historical depth to a room.

Antique glass should be washed by hand using lukewarm water and a mild detergent, avoiding sudden temperature changes and harsh abrasive scourers to protect the delicate antique surface.
