FAQs

The Georgian period spans the reigns of the four King Georges from 1714 to 1830, a time when English glass production advanced significantly with the refinement of lead glass and the implementation of heavy excise taxes on the material.

These pieces were typically hand-blown using lead crystal, which allowed for brilliant clarity and deeper resonance, with stems formed using various manipulation techniques such as air twists, opaque twists, or complex composite structures.

Authentic examples often display a pontil mark on the underside of the foot, wear scratches consistent with age, minor bubbles or striations within the metal, and specific stylistic stem formations characteristic of the 18th century.

Displaying these pieces within illuminated glass cabinets or on open shelving allows their intricate optical qualities and silhouettes to catch the light, adding a layer of historical texture to modern schemes.

Antique glass should be hand washed gently in lukewarm water using mild detergent and dried immediately with a soft lint-free cloth, avoiding ultrasonic cleaners and sudden temperature changes.
