FAQs

In Georgian dining, finger bowls were filled with water and placed at individual table settings for guests to cleanse their fingertips during multi-course meals. Coloured glass became popular during this period to coordinate with themed table decor and disguise water clarity.

These vessels were crafted from heavy lead crystal tinted with metallic oxides, such as iron or sulphur, to achieve the straw or amber hue. The decorative patterns were created using hand-driven grinding wheels to produce polished facets and vertical fluting.

Authentic period pieces feature a polished pontil mark on the underside, subtle hand-blown variations, and genuine surface wear on the base. Lead glass from this era also possesses notable weight and a distinct resonance when lightly tapped.

These compact glass vessels function as decorative accents on a sideboard top, curated display shelf, or entry console. They can also be repurposed as tea light holders or small serving vessels for dining arrangements.

Clean tinted lead glass by hand using lukewarm water and mild dishwashing liquid, avoiding harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges. Never place antique glassware in a dishwasher, as thermal shock and strong detergents can damage or cloud the glass.
