This eighteenth-century Georgian wine glass is hand-blown from clear lead glass in an English country house style. The vessel takes the form of a cup bowl atop a knopped, complex air-teared stem incorporating an inverted baluster portion, supported by a domed and folded circular foot with a rough pontil. A delicate pale pink hue permeates the clear material, visible alongside vertical optical fluting running through the bowl. The stem features multiple decorative collars and annular mouldings leading down to the spreading base, while the rim remains plain and rounded. Measuring 14 cm high, this piece serves as a compact display item for a sideboard top in a dining room or living space. It fits naturally into traditional interiors as a decorative accent or period cabinet display.

FAQs

Georgian wine glasses from the 18th century are typically hand-blown using lead glass, featuring varied bowl shapes such as bell, cup, or trumpet forms paired with decorated stems.

Air tears, or trapped air bubbles, were created by pricking the molten glass stem during the blowing process and drawing it out to form elongated, decorative air pockets.

Authentic Georgian pieces frequently feature pontil marks on the base, slight asymmetry from hand-blowing, a grey or purple tint inherent to early lead glass, and wear on the underside of the foot.

These historic glass pieces are commonly displayed in illuminated glass cabinets, arranged on mirrored trays atop sideboards, or positioned within open shelving displays.

Hand wash using lukewarm water and mild detergent, avoiding dishwashers, sudden temperature shifts, and abrasive cloths that could scratch the glass surface.
