The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

Jacobite wine glasses originated in 18th-century Britain, featuring symbolic engravings used to express political loyalty to the exiled House of Stuart. The air twist technique, developed around the mid-18th century, involved drawing air pockets into molten glass and twisting the stem to form internal spiralled patterns.

These glasses were hand-blown using lead crystal glass, which provided density, clarity, and a high refractive index. The stem was created by introducing air pockets into the gather of molten glass before drawing and twisting it into symmetrical spiral designs.

Authentic pieces display characteristic signs of manual production, including slightly asymmetric hand-formed stems, natural surface wear on the base of the foot, and ground pontil marks. The lead glass formula also produces a distinct weight and subtle grey tint when viewed in natural light.

Displaying historical stemware inside glass cabinets, on polished sideboard tops, or arranged on bar carts provides a historical element within modern rooms. Grouping glasses with varied stem profiles creates visual interest through light refraction and varied heights.

Wash stemware individually by hand in lukewarm water using mild detergent, avoiding extreme temperature changes that cause thermal shock. Dry immediately with a soft, lint-free microfibre cloth to prevent water spots and avoid using mechanical dishwashers.
