Description

This is a Georgian, English, facet cut stem ale glass dating from the second half of the 18th century, c1770.

The glass is in excellent condition for its age. It shows age related wear and tear to both the rim of the bowl and to the rim of the foot commensurate with some 250 years of use. It has a rough pontil mark on the underside of the foot.

The glass has an extended rounded funnel-shaped bowl measuring 5 cm (2 inches) in diameter at the rim. The bowl is plain and sits on a diamond-cut facet cut stem and a conical foot which measures 7.3 cm (2.9 inches) in diameter. The glass is 17.5 cm (7 inches) in height. There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any obvious evidence of restoration. There are a couple of tiny scars to the inside of the bowl which also has a small elongated unburst bubble in it, as does the foot; all dating from manufacture. The glass has a slight lean to it when viewed from one perspective.

English lead glass weighing in at 150 g. (~ 5 oz.).

FAQs

Georgian facet cut stem glassware emerged in the mid-to-late 18th century, characterized by geometric cutting on the stem which replaced earlier air twist and opaque twist styles to catch candlelight.

These pieces were typically crafted from lead glass or early flint glass, hand-blown into shape before cold-working techniques like wheel-cutting and polishing were applied to create the facets.

Authentic pieces often exhibit pontil scars on the base, irregular bubble formations within the metal, and hand-cut facets with natural wear and patination consistent with age.

Displaying historical stemware within open shelving, glazed cabinets, or on bar carts adds texture, historical contrast, and refined elegance to contemporary spaces.

Wash historic glass strictly by hand using lukewarm water and mild detergent, avoiding sudden temperature changes and never placing them in a dishwasher.
