FAQs

Georgian glassware spans the period from 1714 to 1830, characterised by heavy lead metal, free-blown or mould-blown techniques, and the introduction of rich cobalt oxides to achieve deep blue colourations.

Pieces from this era were typically crafted using potash or lead glass formulations, hand-blown into iron or wooden molds, and finished with hand-applied stems and feet.

Authentication relies on examining pontil marks on the base, surface wear such as fine scratches indicative of age, bubbles and striations within the metal, and characteristic weight and colour saturation.

Such pieces can be displayed singly on open shelving, grouped by colour within glass-fronted cabinets, or utilised functionally to bring historical texture to contemporary table settings.

Antique glass should be washed by hand in lukewarm water using mild detergent, avoiding sudden temperature changes and abrasive materials to protect the fragile historic surface.
