An air twist wine glass is a type of drinking vessel produced in 18th-century Britain, characterised by elongated air bubbles enclosed within the stem, created using specific glassmaking techniques.

These pieces were typically crafted from lead glass or flint glass, shaped by free-blowing the bowl and drawing out the stem to incorporate internal air threads before applying a folded foot.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the pontil mark on the base, the weight and greyish hue of the lead glass, tool marks, and the presence of genuine wear rather than artificial ageing.

Such items are best showcased inside a lit glass cabinet or on a dedicated mantelpiece where their optical qualities and delicate silhouettes can be appreciated without risk of damage.

Antique glass should be washed by hand using warm water and mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals, extreme temperature changes, and ultrasonic cleaners to protect the fragile material.
