FAQs

A firing glass is an 18th-century drinking vessel characterised by its exceptionally thick, heavy foot, which was designed to produce a sharp bang or fire when slammed onto a wooden table during toasts.

These pieces were typically crafted from heavy lead crystal using traditional glassblowing techniques, often featuring a plain stem and a thick, folded or heavy base to withstand rigorous tavern use.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the pontil mark on the underside, lead content, tool marks, and consistent wear patterns appropriate for the late 18th century, alongside the characteristic heavy foot.

Antique stemware can be displayed within illuminated glass-front cabinets or styled on open shelving to add historical texture and reflective elegance to contemporary dining spaces.

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