FAQs

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

These stems were crafted using lead glass for the outer body and opaque white enamel glass rods drawn and twisted internally to form intricate patterns.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit pontil marks on the underside of the foot, fine tool wear, surface striations in the glass, and variations inherent in hand-blown manufacturing techniques.

Antique glassware can be displayed within illuminated glass-fronted cabinets or styled thoughtfully on open shelving to add historical texture and refined detail to a room.

Antique glass should be hand-washed gently in warm water using mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals, extreme temperature changes, and ultrasonic dishwashers.
