Late Victorian/edwardian Set of Six Bristol Green Wine Glasses

1900 - 1920
Description

This is a set of six mouth-blown, late 19th century Bristol green wine glasses with knopped stems.

The glasses are in excellent condition for their age. They show age related wear and tear to the rims of the feet consistent with some 100 plus years of use. The feet have polished out pontil marks to the underside.

The glasses have funnel-shaped bowls measuring 6.5 cm (2.6 inches) in diameter at the rims. The bowls are plain and sit on double collars and thin capstan stems with medial angular knops. The stems lead to conical feet which measure 6.8 cm (2.7 inches) in diameter. The glasses are 13 cm. (5.2 inches) in height. There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any obvious signs of restoration. Dimensions vary slightly from glass to glass as should be expected of mouth-blown glassware.

Lead glass, each weighing in at 155 g. ( ~ 5 1/2 oz.) each.

This set of six late Victorian or Edwardian wine glasses dates from around 1900. Each piece is formed from mouth-blown Bristol green lead glass with a vibrant emerald hue and a smooth, glossy finish. The vessels comprise plain funnel-shaped bowls resting on double collars, thin capstan stems with medial angular knops, and circular flat conical feet featuring polished out pontil marks on the underside. They measure 13 cm high, 6.5 cm wide, and 6.8 cm deep, with slight variations across the group due to their handmade manufacture. Age-related wear and tear is present on the rims of the feet from over a century of use, alongside minor weight variances between the individual glasses. Positioned on a sideboard top, this suite brings a strong English Country House aesthetic to a dining room or living space. The traditional form and deep green colour make them suitable for serving wine during formal dinners or seasonal gatherings. Each glass weighs 155 g and sits steadily on a flat surface, offering a tactile dining experience for collectors and vintage glassware enthusiasts alike. The collection remains free of chips, cracks, significant scratches, and obvious signs of restoration, ensuring practical utility alongside period charm.

FAQs

Bristol green glass gained popularity in the late 18th through early 20th centuries, coloured using metal oxide additives such as iron and copper during the manufacturing process.

These glasses were traditionally hand-blown, featuring individually shaped conical or trumpet-form bowls fused to knopped or turned stems resting on flat circular bases.

Authentic period pieces typically feature hand-drawn stems, subtle variations in dimension due to manual blowing, and polished or ground pontil marks on the underside of the foot.

Coloured stemware can be displayed on open shelving, integrated into contemporary dining table settings for tonal contrast, or arranged on bar carts where ambient light highlights the glass.

Clean by hand using lukewarm water and mild dishwashing liquid, avoiding dishwashers and abrasive cleaning pads which can cause clouding or surface scratching.
