The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Finger bowls were introduced to formal dining settings during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, placed on the table for guests to rinse their fingers between courses during elaborate multi-course meals.

These bowls were hand-blown using lead glass infused with metallic oxides, such as manganese dioxide to achieve amethyst tones, and finished with a polished or snapped pontil base.

Authentic period examples feature subtle hand-blown variations, noticeable weight from lead content, pontil marks on the underside, and characteristic soft base wear from age.

This vessel can be displayed on a sideboard to capture natural light, used as a surface catchall for small items, or grouped within a curated collection of period coloured glass.

Hand wash gently in lukewarm water with mild liquid soap, avoiding automated dishwashers and sudden temperature fluctuations that can cause thermal shock and fracturing.
