Description

This is a scarce Georgian, facet cut stem wine glass gilded in the atelier of James Giles and dating from the middle of the 18th century, c1770.

The glass is in excellent condition for its age. It shows age related wear and tear to the rim of the foot commensurate with some 250 years of use. It has a rough pontil mark on the underside of the foot.

The glass has an ogee-shaped bowl measuring 5.5 cm (2.2 inches) in diameter at the gilded rim. The bowl is beautifully gilded with a trailing, fruiting vine and sits on a diamond-cut facet cut stem. The stem ends in a conical foot which measures 7.2 cm (2.9 inches) in diameter. The glass is 14.7 cm (5.9 inches) in height. There are a couple of minute unburst bubbles in the metal of the foot dating from manufacture. There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any obvious evidence of restoration. The gilding is very slightly rubbed in places.

Lead glass weighing in at 165 g. (~ 6 oz.).

FAQs

Georgian glass refers to drinking vessels and decorative glass objects produced during the reigns of the Kings George in Britain between 1714 and 1830. Independent enamellers and gilders like James Giles embellished blank lead glass pieces with intricate motifs such as gilt vines and chinoiserie designs.

These items were typically crafted from high-lead flint glass, which provided clarity, weight, and a resonant ring. Decoration involved hand-cutting facets into the stem, hand-painting with gold leaf, and firing in a muffle kiln to fix the gilding and enamel.

Authentic pieces exhibit characteristics of early manufacturing, such as pontil marks on the base, minor bubbles or striations within the metal, and hand-cut facets that display slight irregular geometry compared to modern machine-made crystal. Wear consistent with age should be visible on the base.

Antique stemware adds a layer of historical texture and refined craftsmanship when displayed within glass-fronted cabinets, on open shelving, or as part of a curated tablescape incorporating other period elements.

Gilded and enamelled antique glass requires careful handling and must be washed by hand in lukewarm water using mild detergent. Never submerge in hot water or place in a dishwasher, as this will permanently damage the delicate gold leaf and historical surface.
