FAQs

Eighteenth-century facet cut wine glasses feature geometric cutting on the stem and lower bowl, a technique that gained popularity in England around 1745 following the repeal of the glass tax, replacing earlier air twist and opaque twist stems with brilliant light refraction.

These pieces were hand-blown using lead glass, often referred to as flint glass, which provided greater weight, clarity, and durability. The facets were subsequently applied by hand using abrasive wheels and polished to a high finish.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit small surface imperfections, wear marks on the polished conical foot known as pontil marks, and hand-cut facets that are irregular compared to machine-made Victorian or modern reproductions.

Displaying antique glassware in a lit glass-fronted cabinet or on open wooden shelving allows natural light to interact with the faceted stem, adding historic texture and refined detail to a room.

Historic glass should be washed exclusively by hand in warm water using mild soap, avoiding sudden temperature changes and abrasive sponges, and stored safely away from direct sunlight.
