Eighteenth-century gin glasses are typically characterised by a conical or bucket-shaped bowl, a thick drawn stem often featuring a tear (air bubble), and a folded foot for added stability and strength.

Georgian drinking vessels were predominantly crafted from lead glass, which was heavier and had a higher refractive index than contemporary soda-lime glass, contributing to its distinctive clarity and ring when struck.

Authentic pieces often exhibit characteristic manufacturing flaws such as small air bubbles (tears), striations in the metal, pontil marks on the base, and wear scratches consistent with age and use.

Antique glassware can be displayed within glass-fronted cabinets, styled on open shelving to catch natural light, or used functionally for intimate dinner parties to add historical texture to a table setting.

Antique glass should be washed by hand in warm water using a mild, non-abrasive detergent and dried immediately with a lint-free cloth, avoiding sudden temperature changes to prevent thermal shock and cracking.
