Description

This is a small Georgian Lynn-moulded tumbler or beaker, dating from the middle of the 18th century, c1765. Glasses of this form were originally known as Norfolk glasses and latterly as Lynn glasses in the, perhaps mistaken, belief that they originated from Kings Lynn in Norfolk.

The tumbler is in excellent condition for its age. This means, of course, that it shows age related wear and tear to the base commensurate with some 250+ years of use.

The tumbler is in the clear colourway and is 7.5 cm (3 inches) in height, 6.2 cm (2.5 inches) across the bowl rim and 4.5 cm (1.8 inches) in diameter at its base, the bottom of which carries a rough pontil mark. The bowl is moulded with five Lynn rings. There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any obvious evidence of restoration.

English lead glass weighing in at 90 g. (~ 3 oz.).

FAQs

Georgian glassware encompasses items produced during the reigns of George I through IV, characterised by heavy flint glass and distinct regional variations such as the spiral-ribbed Lynn style originating from Norfolk.

These pieces were typically crafted from lead glass, also known as flint glass, using traditional free-blown or mould-blown techniques by skilled glass artisans.

Authentic pieces often exhibit pontil marks on the base, minor surface imperfections or air bubbles from manual blowing, and the characteristic heft and refractive index of period lead glass.

Antique glass can be displayed on open shelving, used on a bar cart to serve drinks, or repurposed as a small vase for single stems to add historical texture to contemporary spaces.

Antique glassware should be hand washed in lukewarm water using mild detergent and dried immediately with a soft cloth. Avoid extreme temperature changes and dishwashers to prevent thermal shock and crazing.
