Georgian Double Series Opaque Twist Wine Glass, Flute-moulded Ogee Bowl

18th century
Description

This is a Georgian, English double series opaque twist stem wine glass dating from the middle of the 18th century, c1765.

The glass is in excellent condition for its age. It shows age related wear and tear to the rim of the foot commensurate with some 250 years of use. It has a rough pontil mark on the underside of the foot.

The glass has an ogee-shaped bowl measuring 5.1 cm (2 inches) in diameter at the rim. The bottom half of the bowl is moulded with finger fluting. The bowl sits on a double series opaque twist stem consisting of a spirally intertwined white enamel tape and a gauze. The stem ends in a conical foot which measures 7.2 cm (2.9 inches) in diameter. The glass is 15.3 cm (6.1 inches) in height. There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any obvious evidence of restoration. There are some minute abrasions to the underside edge of the foot but no more than the normal wear and tear that should be seen on an original, unground foot. There is a minute white inclusion (probably clinker) in the metal of the bowl, just under the rim, dating from manufacture. There are two collectors' stickers attached to the foot.

Lead glass weighing in at 140 g. (~ 5 oz.).

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

An opaque twist wine glass is a style of British stemware produced predominantly between 1755 and 1780. The stem contains internal white enamel canes or spirals that were drawn and twisted into decorative patterns within clear lead glass during manufacture.

Glassmakers arranged white opaque enamel rods inside a cylindrical mould, poured molten clear lead glass around them, and pulled and twisted the gathered glass to create internal helical patterns before attaching the bowl and foot.

Authentic pieces usually display a rough pontil mark or snapped scar underneath the foot, slight asymmetry from hand-blowing, small air inclusions or seed bubbles within the glass, and a characteristic heavy greyish-blue tint under light due to lead content.

These decorative glasses are commonly placed on a dining sideboard, integrated into a lit display cabinet, or styled alongside period decanters on a bar cart to highlight the internal stem detail.

Hand wash individual pieces in lukewarm water using mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid hot water, rapid temperature changes, and dishwashers, which can cause thermal shock, surface clouding, or cracking.
