FAQs

An opaque twist wine glass is a type of drinking vessel featuring a stem decorated with white or coloured enamel glass twists, predominantly produced in Britain during the mid-to-late 18th century following the introduction of the 1746 Glass Excise Act.

These pieces were hand-blown using lead glass for clarity and weight, while the intricate stem threads were formed using opaque white enamel glass canes manipulated within the molten metal before being drawn and twisted.

Authentic examples typically exhibit period characteristics such as a rough snapped pontil mark on the underside of the foot, natural surface wear including fine micro-scratches, small trapped air bubbles within the lead metal, and characteristic weight and ring.

Displaying the piece within a glazed cabinet, on an open shelving unit, or atop a mantelpiece allows the delicate silhouette and intricate stemwork to catch natural light while maintaining a secure environment.

Wash the item by hand using lukewarm water and mild detergent without soaking, avoiding abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals, and dry it thoroughly with a lint-free cloth.
