Anglo-Irish glass from this period is characterised by its heavy weight, high lead content, deep brilliant-cut geometric patterns, and a slightly greyish or bluish hue in the metal.

They were hand-blown using lead crystal and shaped with iron pontils, followed by hand-cutting and polishing on a wheel to create precise facets and decorative motifs.

Authentic pieces typically feature rough pontil scars on the base, minor surface wear consistent with age, slightly uneven hand-cut facets, and a heavy feel due to high lead content.

They can be displayed on open shelving, within glass-fronted cabinets, or used selectively on a dining table to introduce tactile historical texture to a contemporary tablescape.

Wash them gently by hand in lukewarm water using mild detergent, avoiding sudden temperature changes, dishwashers, and harsh scrubbing agents to protect the delicate surface.
