An 18th-century bonnet glass with an ogee bowl. A rudimentary stem with a conical foot and snapped pontil. A fine example.

Bonnet glasses come with a surprising variation in moulding, however, finding a plain bowl example is very difficult and we would say that this is probably the first example we have had.

England, c1780. Period of George III.

Height: 7.1cm

Rim diameter: 6.1cm

FAQs

A bonnet glass is a small, stemmed glass vessel produced during the 18th century, typically featuring an ogee or fluted bowl, traditionally used for serving sweetmeats, jellies, or custards.

Georgian glassware was predominantly crafted from lead metal or flint glass, often shaped by free-blowing or mold-blowing techniques, frequently displaying characteristic pontil marks on the base.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit characteristic glass-making traits such as a rough snapped pontil mark, tool marks, variations in thickness, and the specific high refractive index associated with period lead glass formulations.

Historic glassware adds textural contrast and subtle historical depth when displayed within modern dining spaces, open shelving units, or traditional cabinets.

Antique glass should be washed by hand in lukewarm water using a mild, non-abrasive detergent, avoiding sudden temperature changes and never using an automated dishwasher.
