FAQs

A dram glass is a small drinking vessel historically used in the 18th century for serving spirits such as whisky, gin, or cordials, typically holding a single small measure.

These glasses were traditionally hand-blown from lead glass, featuring heavy metal content, distinctive surface imperfections, and often hand-engraved decorative motifs.

Authentic pieces exhibit traits such as pontil marks on the base, minor bubbles or striations within the metal, a deep greyish tone, and wear consistent with age.

Such small historical objects are typically displayed within glazed cabinets, on open shelving, or styled atop sideboards alongside other curated collections.

Antique glass should be washed exclusively by hand in lukewarm water using mild detergent, avoiding sudden temperature changes and abrasive materials.
