This late eighteenth century Georgian dwarf ale glass is hand-blown from clear lead glass. It displays a conical bowl with vertical fluting, surmounting a short stem with a collar above a wide circular foot with an over-folded edge. Visible details include a rough pontil on the underside, a hollow stem section, and pristine surfaces with no chips, cracks, or scratches. Standing 9.4 cm high, the piece possesses modest proportions suitable for display on a sideboard top in an English country house interior. The glass suits collectors of historic glassware and serves as an ornamental accent or a delicate vessel in a dining room cabinet.

FAQs

A dwarf ale glass is a short, sturdy drinking vessel produced predominantly in the 18th century, designed specifically for consuming strong ale.

These glasses were typically hand-blown using heavy lead glass, featuring a conical bowl, a minimal stem or knop, and a wide flat base.

Authentic pieces often exhibit a snapped or ground pontil mark underneath the foot, slight glass impurities, subtle asymmetry from hand-crafting, and wear on the basal rim.

Display individual stemware pieces on a styled bar cart, arrange them inside an illuminated glass cabinet, or present them as accents on a dining room sideboard.

Hand wash gently in lukewarm water using mild washing-up liquid, avoiding dishwashers, thermal shock, and abrasive cloths that could cause scratching.
