FAQs

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

These items were crafted using lead glass for the bowl and foot, combined with opaque white enamel rods or threads twisted internally within the drawn stem.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit a folded foot, pontil mark on the underside, surface wear consistent with age, and small trapped air bubbles within the handmade lead metal.

Displaying the piece within a glazed cabinet or on a dedicated shelving unit allows the delicate silhouette and internal twist to be appreciated safely.

Clean the item strictly by hand using lukewarm water and mild detergent, avoiding harsh scrubbing, ultrasonic cleaners, and sudden temperature changes.
