FAQs

An opaque twist wine glass is a type of drinking vessel produced in Britain during the 18th century, characterised by white or coloured enamel glass threads encased within a clear glass stem.

These glasses were hand-blown using lead glass, with the intricate stem twists formed by drawing and twisting opaque glass rods within a clear gather before shaping the bowl and foot.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit pontil marks on the underside of the foot, surface wear consistent with age, minor bubbles or impurities within the lead metal, and the characteristic weight and ring of 18th-century English glass.

Antique stemware can be displayed within glass-fronted cabinets, used as accent pieces on open shelving, or incorporated into table settings to add historical texture and refined detail to contemporary schemes.

Antique glass should be washed gently by hand in lukewarm water using mild detergent, avoiding sudden temperature changes and abrasive materials to protect the delicate surface and structural integrity.
