Description

This is a late Georgian/William IV mouth-blown, cut glass preserve bowl or butter tub, cover and stand dating from the beginning of the 19th century, c1830.

The bowl is in excellent condition for its age. It shows age related wear and tear consistent with some 200 years of use.

The bowl has a cup-shaped bowl and measures 12.5 cm (5 inches) in diameter at its widest point. The bowl cut with a band of thin olives above a band of panel cutting, above a prism cut, above a medial band of diamonds, above a prism cut above a basal band of panel cutting. The conical foot is plain. There is a polished out pontil mark to the underside of the foot. The bowl is 9.5 cm (3.8 inches) in height without the cover and 13.5 cm (5.4 inches) in height with the cover on and placed on the stand.

The cover is radially cut to the underside and we believe it to be the original. It is of the same colour and metal as the bowl and is a good fit. It is cut with prism cutting and has a facet-cut ball finial.

The stand is also radially cut to the underside and sports a polished out pontil mark.

There are no significant chips, cracks, significant scratches or any other evidence of restoration. An impressive piece of cut glass in almost pristine condition. A rare survivor.

Anglo Irish lead glass weighing in at 845 g. (~ 1 lb 14 oz).

FAQs

Georgian and William IV cut glass is characterised by heavy lead crystal content, hand-blown manufacture, and deep, hand-cut geometric patterns created using a wheel. These pieces often exhibit a high refractive index and subtle irregularities indicative of artisanal production.

These items were crafted from potash-lead or flint glass, shaped using free-blowing or mould-blowing techniques, and finished with cold-working processes such as wheel-cutting, fluting, and diamond-point engraving by skilled glass-cutters.

Authenticity is determined by examining weight, colour tint, and surface wear. Genuine pieces typically feature a greyish-blue or warm tone in the glass, hand-polished facets with slight variations, a polished pontil mark on the base, and characteristic age-related micro-scratches.

Antique glass pieces add textural contrast and light reflection to modern spaces. They can be displayed on open shelving, used as functional serving vessels on dining tables, or styled as decorative accents on sideboards to introduce historical depth.

Antique glass should be washed by hand in lukewarm water using a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Harsh chemicals, dishwashers, and sudden temperature changes must be avoided to prevent thermal shock and preserve the delicate hand-cut facets.
