This large Regency blown glass rummer is produced from clear lead glass in a grand Regency style, measuring 13.5 cm high by 9.5 cm wide by 9.5 cm deep. The body has a round bowl with a wheel-engraved foliate border of wheat sheaves and grape vines, set upon a short knopped stem with a bladed collar, rising from a sturdy circular foot with a broken pontil underneath. The smooth, polished transparent surface reflects light across the carved motifs and faceted lower bowl. Practical for everyday use or display in a dining room, this generously sized glassware serves wine, beer or spirits. It sits securely on a sideboard top, dining table, or in a glass-fronted display cabinet, adding period character to traditional or eclectic tablescapes.

FAQs

A rummer is a large type of drinking glass featuring a wide bowl, a short stem, and a sturdy foot, which gained immense popularity in Britain during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.

During the Regency era, rummers were hand-blown using heavy lead glass and decorated using copper-wheel engraving techniques to cut botanical or geometric motifs directly into the surface.

Authentic nineteenth-century rummers typically exhibit characteristic irregularities from hand-blowing, a polished or rough pontil mark under the foot, a slight grey tint from lead content, and genuine wear on the base.

Antique rummers function effectively as decorative accent pieces when displayed inside a glazed cabinet, arranged on a dining sideboard, or repurposed as small floral vases.

Hand wash antique glass using warm water and mild dishwashing liquid, avoiding dishwashers or rapid temperature fluctuations that cause thermal shock and glass disease.
