FAQs

The Georgian era in glass production spans the reigns of the four King Georges from 1714 to 1830, characterised by the heavy reliance on lead crystal fluxed with potash, leading to increased weight, brilliance, and depth.

These drinking vessels were typically hand-blown using lead metal glass compositions. Workers manipulated molten glass using traditional pontil irons, often creating stems through drawn or applied methods and folding the rims of the feet for added stability.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the pontil mark on the underside of the base, the presence of wear scratches known as age wear, subtle optical distortions or air bubbles within the metal, and the specific chemical composition of the lead glass.

Historic glassware can be displayed within illuminated glass-fronted cabinets or styled securely on open shelving, allowing ambient light to highlight the clarity and craftsmanship of the historical material.

Antique glass should be hand washed gently in lukewarm water using mild detergent, avoiding sudden temperature changes to prevent thermal shock, and should never be placed in a dishwasher.
